Creating a grand show place

Accentuating the amenities.

This property went through major renovations inside and out. We were asked by the homeowner to design and install new seasonal color beds and containers to match the grand scale of the eight-acre property and accentuate the new amenities as well as the existing features: front water feature, pool area, outdoor kitchen, fresh-water pond, Japanese garden, and guest house.

Driveway entry beds were planted with mixed sunpatiens, caladiums, whopper begonia, and accented with canna lily and fountain grass.

In the pool and outdoor kitchen area, we added contemporary containers throughout. The homeowner wanted a mediterranean feel, so majesty and sago palms were used as thrilling centerpieces and we incorporated colorful fillers.

If you were to lounge in the sun over near the Japanese garden, you would see freeform beds filled with angelonia, lantana, whopper begonias, and Indian summer rudbeckia.

Across the pond, the guest house had its own unique design, using plants that reflected the colors and textures used on the interior: burgundy, pinks and white. Kingwood torch coleus, rose whopper begonias and serena white angelonia created the harmonious effect that tied the indoor and outdoor elements together.

The main goal of the homeowner was to create a grand show place for themselves and their guests to enjoy.
