Features

Green Parking
At a new waterfront house on Lake Macatawa southwest of Grand Rapids, Mich., Landscape Design Services handled the outdoor design and construction, which included a grass paver parking area to meet the owners wish for ample parking without ample hardscape.

Twice as Nice
Sometimes two companies are better than one as they were at a residential renovation in Davidsonville, Md., where Annapolis Landscaping installed 230 tons of boulders, more hardscape, outdoor kitchen, water features and plants; and Fine Decks Inc. built an enclosed porch with deck, a pergola, pool house, and pavilion.

Right and Proper
A historical and architecturally significant residence in Glencoe, Ill., was in need of a landscape that would do it justice so Greenhaven Landscapes designed and fashioned one that did.

Starting from Scratch
With the point of departure being a yard that had not been touched, Backyard Vacations of Carlsbad, Calif., turned the opportunity into an enviable outdoor entertainment area.
