Blocks, Boulders and Blooms

Natural landscaping in a mountain setting

The Blocks, Boulders and Blooms project represents the seamless fusion of human creativity and Mother Nature’s beauty. Nestled in the heart of Evergreen, this outdoor landscaping project has brought a touch of wilderness to this modern home.

KEY FEATURES

Block Retaining Wall

The cornerstone of the project is the crafted block retaining wall. Rising gracefully along the garden’s edge, this structural masterpiece not only adds aesthetic charm but also serves the essential function of terracing, providing stability to the terrain. The choice of natural stone colors and textures blends seamlessly with the environment, creating a harmonious transition between the man-made and the organic.

Rock Riverbed

A meandering rock riverbed gracefully winds through the landscape, bringing a sense of serenity and movement to the space. Hand-selected river rocks, thoughtfully arranged, create the illusion of a natural watercourse. The riverbed serves both an aesthetic and functional purpose, as it helps with drainage and soil retention while enhancing the overall appeal of the garden.

Boulders

Strategically placed boulders of varying sizes serve as focal points and anchors within the landscape. These massive stones, artfully positioned, provide a sense of permanence and create a visually appealing contrast to the softer elements of the garden. They also offer natural seating and a place for contemplation, allowing visitors to connect with the surroundings on a deeper level.

Local Wildflowers

The soul of the project lies in the vibrant tapestry of local wildflowers that paint the landscape with their seasonal blooms. A carefully curated selection of native flora brings a burst of color and life to the garden. Not only do these wildflowers attract pollinators and support local biodiversity, but they also provide a constantly changing backdrop, ensuring that every visit to the garden is a unique experience.
