Here is a update of our latest paver and landscape job on Clear Lake a birthday present for our customer, Sara. With a young family of four and a large shaggy dog Sara was tired of all the debris that collected on the former patio surface(s) that constantly tracked into their lake home. In addition the tired, thinning junipers under the fabulous, mature Bloodgood maple were nothing more than a giant leave collectors. A 36" globosa spruce on a standard dominated the space left of the sidewalk and it took a bit of talking on my part to persuade Sara and her husband Chris it needed to go. Once we cleared out all the old shrubs the clean pallet allowed me to give Sara the cottage feel she wanted for her landscaping.
Summer snowflake viburnum, Frances William hostas, green mountain boxwood, pachysandra, upright boxwood, fineline buckthorn and Blushing Bride hydrangea provide the elegance, charm and privacy for dining on the new Coldstream pavers by Paverlock. The pavers are very rich looking with just enough texture to make you think of hand chiseled stone, I really like them. Potted geraniums give a pop of red and can be changed out seasonally.
Pavers custom cut to fit under the door threshold cover the unsightly concrete and give the entrance a finished look. A timber step allows easy access to the water spigot and we ran an extra hose around the timbers for easier watering.
Sara loves the new look and so does her family. The patio is functional once again. The free standing stacked glacial stone wall does a terrific
job of addressing the grade change around the tree.
