Enhancing a New Home with Stunning, Low-Maintenance Landscaping

The owners of a newly built home wanted the perfect landscaping to complement their beautiful property—without obstructing the breathtaking views. They reached out to Erik to design a foundation and driveway island that would be both low-maintenance and deer-resistant while thriving in both sun and partial shade.

To create a striking yet easy-care landscape, Erik carefully selected a combination of plants that would provide continuous color and texture throughout the seasons. He incorporated Catmint for its soft, fragrant blooms, Dark Knight Caryopteris for deep blue color, and Zagreb Coreopsis for its bright, cheerful yellow flowers. To add depth and visual interest, he included mass plantings of Millenium Allium and Hameln Grass, ensuring a spectacular display from spring through fall. The result was a welcoming and vibrant entrance that perfectly complemented the home’s aesthetic.

Thrilled with the transformation, the homeowners immediately enlisted Erik to design the landscaping around their backyard pool area. With a deer fence in place, Erik framed the stunning views with lush, long-blooming plants. He incorporated Limelight, Little Lime, and Endless Summer Hydrangeas for their show-stopping blooms, while Doubleplay Spirea and Brandywine Viburnum added vibrant foliage and seasonal interest. To enhance the driveway entry gate, he planted Dragon Lady Hollies, Hameln Grass, and Deutzia, creating an inviting and structured look. Karl Foerster Grass was used to elegantly line the walkway leading to the pool, adding movement and texture to the space.

The gardens provided phenomenal color well into the fall, creating a breathtaking backdrop that delighted both the homeowners and their guests. The thoughtful plant selections ensured year-round interest, transforming the property into a picturesque and easily maintained retreat.
