Major Challenges:

This landscape nests within a hillside where water would collect at the bottom. To prevent this, the solution was to build up an area large enough for a fire pit and direct water away from the house.

Special or Unusual Features:

We built up the landscape using large boulders to create a platform for an undulating putting green.

The client selected the large boulders themselves that were used to create a cascading staircase helping to shape a large water feature.
