Solving a banal problem beautifully<\/h2>\n

\"front<\/a>This Alexandria, Virginia home had an awkward driveway configuration and needed a more inviting front yard landscape design<\/a>. Landscape architect Chad Talton worked with the client to identify three points that would be addressed in the design plan:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The long driveway had no turn around space. This minor everyday nuisance became a major inconvenience when guests dropped by.<\/li>\n
  2. The house, sited midway up a side sloping lot, lacked a defined entry area. There was no \u201cfront yard\u201d as such to frame the house.<\/li>\n
  3. Views of the home were obscured on approach by random shrubbery and scrubby trees.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Re-grading and functional aesthetics<\/h3>\n

    The solution to the first problem \u2013the need for additional parking and a turnaround area- became the anchor for this front of home landscape design. The driveway couldn\u2019t be widened because it was too close to the property line. So, the only logical location for a parking pad required filling and leveling the slope near a small grouping of cedar and black walnut trees.<\/p>\n

    Immediately uphill from that spot, the architect\u2019s plan specified additional fill and leveling to create a more welcoming landing at the front of the house. These changes in grade are held together by retaining walls and steps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    A curved retaining wall follows a line along the new front walkway connecting the front entry to the parking pad. So, the landscape architect found an interesting way to resolve the functional problem (parking) while improving the curb appeal of the house.<\/p>\n\n

    Un-designing the designed landscape<\/h3>\n

    If there is anything I would say about Chad\u2019s design sensibility -which I love- it\u2019s that it can make a residential area look just too formal because it is so full and so complete. That\u2019s his job of course, to think of every little thing. That\u2019s why you hire him. When I raised this point, he immediately\u00a0 had ideas for how to relax the formality of the design. And we got to an end result that we love.\u201d \u00a0–Karen Nussle, Alexandria VA<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The client and architect worked together to get the right feel for the front yard plantings. The client wanted her front garden to have a loosely arranged collection of flowers and plants\u2014less studied in appearance than what was shown in the original plan. They accomplished this by installing smaller groupings of a wide variety of different plants.<\/p>\n

    They implemented a mix of colors and different seasonal blooms for the design. The client is particularly fond of \u201ccut flowers\u201d such as daisy and aster because she likes to bring fresh flowers into the house. They also chose species based on how they look when they aren\u2019t flowering, for their contrasting leaf shapes and textures as well as variations in shape and height.<\/p>\n

    Based on the size and scale of the area, we use different tactics to create impact. Looking at the landscape design on a two to three acre property from 100 yards away, you create impact with massing, with groupings of 20 of the same type of shrub. In a smaller area, you use smaller groupings with more variety\u2014so you aren\u2019t overwhelmed by one plant type. \u2013Chad Talton,\u00a0Registered Landscape Architect<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Designing the Un-Designed Landscape<\/h3>\n

    In the planned part of the landscape design process, we filled and leveled sloped areas to gain maneuvering space for cars; and we created visual interest by following the contour of the slope with a retaining wall and walkway. An improvised addition to the plan involved relocating a young sycamore tree.<\/p>\n

    The architect noticed a tree near the property line that was, as the client put it, \u201cjust there.\u201d The architect said it was going to grow to be very tall. It was already about to interfere with the power lines. He suggested moving it before it got too big and deliberately including it in the new landscaping plan. That lone sycamore wasn\u2019t connected to anything before. Now, the client says it is an anchor point in the landscaping.<\/p>\n

    This kind of thinking is characteristic of a good landscape architect and a good landscape design firm. It results in a well thought out site plan that resolves functional problems with artful solutions. Plus, it takes the best advantage of assets found on site by weaving them into the design. It strives to fully understand the landscape in relation to the client\u2019s wishes before making plans to change it.\t\t
