Landscape Design For Traditional Homes
Adrian shows how to tastefully incorporate landscape design with the existing architecture of a traditional home.
Backyard Landscape Design to match a Traditional aesthetic
This is a very traditional home, and Adrian is going to show you how we match that aesthetic with the backyard landscaping design.
There are no hard rules when it comes to landscape design.
One of the advantages that we had on this project is that the homeowner herself is a designer. She has a terrific eye for style and colour, and I’m going to show you what she’s done. Some of the details that were incorporated into the landscape and the design are the use of a large rough-hewn harvest table, a very traditional profile cut on the pergola, buildouts and the use of white on the privacy screen, and on the stair risers, tying in the white trim of the house.
Although we could have used a lock stone paver for the patio deck, we wanted to match the traditional aesthetic with something more authentic.
Nothing matches the authenticity of a natural-mortared square cut flagstone.
Although the overall feel of the landscape is traditional, there are no hard rules when it comes to landscape design.
We’ve introduced a very contemporary feature in this backyard fire pit, and in fact we’ve tied the two areas together by pouring a concrete counter on the bar area
