Before + after of the front garden transformation for this single family home in Jacksonville, FL. This project included the design of a new entry way and porch that would complement the existing architecture of their home. Long linear concrete stepping pads were added to break up the long expanse of lawn and the bold architectural plantings add interest and mimic the homeowners mid century design aesthetic.


The uneven back yard was graded into ¬upper and lower levels with an industrial style, concrete wall. Linear pavers lead the garden stroller from place to place alongside a rain garden filled with swaying grasses that spans the side yard and culminates at a gracefully arching pomegranate tree, A bubbling boulder water feature murmurs soothing sounds. A large steel and willow-roof pergola creates a shady space to dine in and chaise lounges and chairs bask in the surrounding shade. The transformation was completed with a bold and biodiverse selection of low water, climate appropriate plants that make the space come alive. branches laden with impossibly red blossoms and fruit.


Patterned bluestone, board-on-board concrete and seasonal containers establish strength of line in the front landscape design. Plants are subordinate components of the design and just emerging from their winter dormancy.


A new garden to complement this recently renovated mid-century modern home by Northern Edge Studio. A naturalistic contemporary Australian style garden with native grasses, Kangaroo Paws and native ground covers.

Designer’s Notes:
Use mixed materials such as concrete pavers, wood, various stones and decomposed granite to add interesting plant textures to add appeal.
