A Somerville, Massachusetts, family’s existing backyard — basically an asphalt parking lot — wasn’t cutting it. The homeowners wanted to be able to relax with friends outside, encourage wildlife to visit their garden and create a welcoming, comfortable space for their growing family. “As the whole thing developed, they decided they wanted to have parties and have people over,” landscape architect Robert Gilmore says. Working with Gilmore Landscape Architecture, the homeowners transformed their yard to include seating and dining areas, a new garage, bird- and butterfly-friendly plantings and improved outdoor drainage. The design team worked to reimagine the space so that it appealed to the young family’s style and wouldn’t require too much maintenance.
