The lawn edge brings the landscape to the pool edge to both soften the hardscape and bring the plantings closer to the user.
The location of the pool area took advantage of the existing slope, deck, and adjacency of the driveway for access.

Hingham residence landscape and pool design

A high end residential landscape project that started with selecting a site for the proposed in ground pool and pool house. The planting plan added summer color and privacy for the pool area. A large Triad pool deck completed the entertainment requirements. On this project I also selected all the plants at the nursery with the client, and laid out all the beds and plants for the landscaper to install.
completed 2010.
