Summit, NJ - Historic Gardens
During an interior renovation of this center hall colonial in Summit, the homeowners decided that the exterior of the home also needed updating. The first phase of this landscape design includes a brand new front garden featuring a brick a stone walkway and historically accurate plantings. The classic design is encompassed by a granite stone wall. The first phase extended into the backyard, where a small brick patio was designed and built to feature a custom granite fireplace and stone pillars. Two rain gardens were constructed adjacent to the patio to collect runoff and two drywells were buried in the yard to capture rainwater from the roof downspouts. Future phases for this property include a custom pool, entertainment patios and a cabana.
