Villanova Residence, Villanova, Pa.
For homeowners in Villanova, a Philadelphia suburb, a master landscape plan was prepared to address the vision of a client with an intense interest in landscaping. A significant landscape buffer was installed prior to construction, allowing a year and a half head start in growth to promote the desired sense of privacy. The front yard landscape provides a formal design with low walled courtyards and a gracious sweeping driveway and parking court. The rear yard features an ample flagstone terrace, Koi pond, pool and spa. An integrated pool house provides storage, poolside entertaining functions and an outdoor shower.

QVC Studio Park Gateway, West Chester, Pa.
QVC's Studio Park headquarters in West Chester, Pennsylvania reinvigorated its arrival experience with the addition of a new gateway and guardhouse. The project consisted of extensive plantings and landscape up-lighting to compliment the wood and steel gatehouse and to enhance the overall sense of arrival. The design included expansive buffer plantings along both sides of the entry drive, specific placement of reclaimed boulders to retain the existing steep slope and protect existing trees to remain, a custom terraced corten steel planter around the new guardhouse filled with a layered palette of perennials and ornamental grasses, and strategically located landscape up-lighting along the entrance drive to highlight trees and boulders as guests make their way through the new gateway.
