Urban Beach House

URBAN BEACH HOUSE

The Urban Beach House landscape design was reimagined at this forever home to resemble a much-loved family vacation property. The house is undergoing renovations and the plan was to freshen up the front yard gardens while giving the backyard a complete redo. The clients wanted to create privacy, include easy to care for shrubs and trees, a lawn for a dog, paved patio area for dining, showcase 4 season interest and address several drainage/grading problems. Inspiration was taken from beach landscapes and the desire to grow food. Pollinators were an essential part of the design plan to feed food production. Foundation trees were planned to enclose the yard for privacy. Evergreen shrubs to provide colour in the garden during winter and a sequence of perennials for beauty and food for bees. A variety of textures and a pink/purple/green palette were essential.
