One-point perspective (dating back to Renaissance design) was used to create a strong visual effect. The overlapping of "semi-transparent-shapes" in the form of Birch, Oak and Honey Locust trees, draws the onlooker's gaze up the garden (like a stage set - low in the foreground and "climbing - level by level") into the distance.
The dynamic use of water adds impact and dramatic perspective : The reflective pond, an impressive central element - cuts it's way through the levels of the garden, providing continuity, tranquility and calming sound. Water bubbles-up from its source at the highest level (midway in the garden) running "downstream" towards the main living area - the heart of the house, creating an air of serenity.
A sense of flow is achieved through the use of a sequence of cascades, utilising and enhancing the changes in level within the garden.

Aralia: Innovation in Landscape Design
Patricia’s garden is an eclectic mix of both traditional & contemporary surrounding her 18th Century Thatched Cottage. She is passionate about edible gardening and so proudly sites 4 raised vegetable beds in her front garden, together with a large pottage border for productive planting, edged with a crisp low Buxus hedge. Central to the front garden is an established Willow which sets off the cottage beautifully. Access to the side of the house is through a decorative metal gate, through to a contemporary Courtyard garden which is minimalist in style and made private with a tall Taxus (Yew) hedge and contains a Balau hardwood deck for early morning breakfast and tea. A contemporary border with Miscanthus and Phlomis, mulched with slate, links the contemporary courtyard garden through to the rear garden. Patricia’s rear garden is very much about entertaining and she was fortunate enough to reinstall her RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2009 Garden (Outdoor Kitchen ‘Freshly Prepped’) into her own garden, so this nests in a corner, and is bordered by buttery yellow Bamboos (Phyllostachys aurea). The outdoor kitchen includes a Green Wall, massive hardwood chopping board, breakfast bar, sofa area, wine chiller and even a kitchen sink! There are 3 seating areas in total here, a powdery blue pergola adjacent to the cottage, covered with Wisteria, Clematis and a Vine, and a further raised hardwood deck (Ipe) which houses an elegant chocolate brown rattan dining table and chairs. There are elements of sculpture/ornaments dotted around, including 2 Iron Cats decorating a wall, and a pair of coppery Herons.

Exterior Worlds Landscaping & Design
In 2003, we received a call from John and Jennifer Randall of West Houston. They had decided to build a French-style home just off of Piney Point near Memorial Drive. Jennifer wanted a modern French landscape design that reflected the symmetry, balance, and patterns of Old World estates. French landscapes like this are popular because of their uniquely proportioned partier gardens, formal garden and constructions, and tightly clipped hedges. John also wanted the French landscape design because of his passion for his heritage (he originally came to Houston from Louisiana), as well as the obvious aesthetic benefits of creating a natural complement to the architecture of the new house.
The first thing we designed was a motor court driveway/parking area in the front of the home. While you may not think that a paved element would have anything at all do with landscape design, in reality it is truly apropos to the theme. French homes almost always have paving that extends all the way to the house. In the case of the Randall home, we used interlocking concrete pavers to create a surface that looks much older than it really is. This prevented the property from looking too much like a new construction and better lent itself to the elegance and stateliness characteristic of French landscape designs in general.
Further blending of practical function with the aesthetic elements of French landscaping was accomplished in an area to the left of the driveway. John loved fishing, and he requested that we design a convenient parking area to temporarily store his boat while he waited for a slip at the marina to become available. Knowing that this area would function only for temporary storage, we came up with the idea of integrating this special parking area into the green space of a parterre garden. We laid down a graveled area in the shape of a horseshoe that would easily allow John back up his truck and unload his boat. We then surrounded this graveled area with a scalloped hedge characterized by a very bright, light green color. Planting boxwoods and Holly trees beyond the hedge, we then extended them throughout the yard. This created a contrast of light and green ground cover that is characteristic of French landscape designs. By establishing alternating light and dark shades of color, it helps establish an unconscious sense of movement which the eye finds it hard to resist following
Parterre gardens like this are also keynote elements to French landscape designs, and the combination of such a green space with the functional element of a paved area serves to elevate the mundane purpose of a temporary parking and storage area into an aesthetic in its own right. Also, we deliberately chose the horseshoe design because we knew this space could later be transformed into a decorative center for the entire garden. This is the main reason we used small stones to cover the area, rather than concrete or pavers. When the boat was eventually relocated, the darkly colored stones surrounded by a brightly colored hedge gave us an excellent place to mount an outdoor sculpture.
The elegance of the home and surrounding French landscape design warranted attention at all hours so we contracted a lighting design company to ensure that all important elements of the house and property were fully visible at night. With mercury vapor lights concealed in trees, we created artificial moonlight that shone down on the garden and front porch. For accent lighting, we used a combination of up lights and down lights to differentiate architectural features, and we installed façade lights to emphasize the face of the home itself.
Although a new construction, this residence achieved such an aura of stateliness that it earned fame throughout the neighborhood almost overnight, and it remains a favorite in the Piney Point area to this day.
