Design Features

Paths

Paths invite the onlooker into the landscape. They provide access and define the flow of the design.  The eye naturally follows this element, drawing the viewer in. They can be made of anything – dirt, decomposed granite, concrete, pavers, flagstone, mulch, gravel – whatever can be walked upon.

Stairs

Steps winding up a slope unite different levels and elevations. As long as they are safe and stable, the choice of materials is nearly limitless.

Bridges

A simple bridge in the garden can be used to both define and cross a threshold. A well-designed bridge is an element unto itself, providing whimsy and practicality.
