landscape renovation | lower shaughnessy
This heritage home renovation included major upgrades to its outdoor spaces, including a new front entry, improved foot circulation, new back deck and levelled play area, and reinvented plantings. The well-established yet choice selection of woody plants and abundant aged clay bricks found onsite became key elements of the new design, seamlessly woven into the landscape to create a secret garden full of discoveries.
The backyard’s weathering-steel retaining wall creates a defined perimeter for the newly levelled lawn while serving as a striking contrast to the lush, abundant plantings within.
White-flowering dogwoods introduce a forested ambiance to the front, complemented by a low, meticulously curated mix of woodland plantings. In the backyard, mature windmill palms jostle with tree peonies and beefy rhododendrons and set the tone for a super lush, semi-tropical bonanza.
