Lubar Residence Landscape Plan, Revised 1/14/25

Backyard Design Intent

The proposed retaining walls help create a flat lawn area perfect for play in the backyard. The two patio areas offer a way to separate the gathering space into different zones. The upper patio is designated for grilling, dining, and lounging. Take two steps down to a lower patio, where a wood-burning fire pit is located along the patio edge. The firepit sits under an existing maple, overlooking the bluff. Masonry pillars with lighting create ambiance for evening gatherings.

Front Yard Design Intent

A circle driveway not only enhances the functionality of a property by facilitating smooth circulation for both homeowners and guests, but it also serves as an inviting gateway to the home. The inclusion of two entry masonry pillars adds a touch of elegance and significantly boosts the curb appeal. By using traditional materials like bluestone with a cobble curb, the design pays homage to the classic colonial architecture of the residence, ensuring that the additions are harmonious with the home's existing aesthetic.
