Buzzards Bay Getaway
Falmouth MA
We created an informal broken bluestone walkway that is set into the lawn guiding you up to the front door. The family wanted to keep the lush lawn a place for the kids and their friends to play so we chose not to overload the front yard with a strong stone structure. An aged granite step leads you up to the porch that is outlined with a single row of Japanese holly. These shrubs mirror the attractive architecture of the octagonal shape of the porch.
A split rail fence decorated with roses borders the front and side yards. This simple design was used to maximize the lawn space for the children and their neighborhood friends. The backyard is much more private as it is enclosed by fencing. We constructed a raised patio that is attached to the home for easy access from the French doors on the backside of the house. A second bluestone patio outlined with cobblestone sits at the bottom of the stairs. We included a rectangular fire pit in this patio design, which is perfect for this outdoors-loving family. The homeowner’s installed a tent with matching wicker furniture where they can curl up together on a cool summer night around the fire.
