Natural Evolution

UPPER ARLINGTON | OHIO

Dreaming of a place to relax and entertain, this backyard transformation sought to create a place where everyone could unite. Looking for a change to support evolving family needs as children became teens, it was time to do away with playsets and transition to a natural oasis. Large limestone chunks provide a one-of-a-kind outdoor fire feature while providing definition and functional seating in other placements. Lush plantings enhance the design and help to provide definition and contrast to the bluestone patio. Limestone steps also help to define zones for seating and conversation further. Hidden details of irrigation, power, and gas lines help to maintain and enhance this natural oasis. The front entry way to the home was also transformed with bluestone steps and lush plantings to accentuate the natural stone of the estate while adding a touch of elegance and luxury for guests as they visit.
