With a dramatic view over a mature upland forest, the owners wanted to create a landscape of multiple outdoor living spaces that facilitated use throughout every season of the year. The vision for the property also needed to address a significant elevation change from the house to the forest interior. A layout was created that included a heated screened porch, multiple deck and patio levels, and a hot tub overlooking the woods. Amenities include a multifunctional firepit and dining area, year round interest with a diverse selection of low maintenance native plants, a subtle landscape lighting scheme, furniture storage, and plenty of built in seating and event serving areas.
