GARDEN TOUR: SUNSET HILLS TERRACE GARDEN

The Greensman worked on this garden for 20 years. The front terrace used to have a giant Oak tree so we removed traditional landscaping and replaced with the oval brick patio with the boxwoods planted in it. There are different ways to walk through the patio, you can access the front door and side doors walking through the boxwoods. We built all the trellis structures when the fence on the side of the house blew down in a micro burst. In between each trellis section is a different plant to provide privacy that was an option different from replacing the fence. The owner is an active gardener which allowed us to do a lot with perennials and she liked to experiment with a variety of shrubs. The yellow sculptures were designed and built by Kristopher Dabner for a DIFFA fund raiser 10 years ago and the home owners purchased it to install in their yard.
