Old Silver Beach Escape
After working for this homeowner for nearly a decade, we really came to know her tastes and goals for making her property really a beautiful and peaceful escape near Old Silver Beach in Falmouth.
We have the experience to always create a space and features that suit this homeowner best.
The purple irises in the front have a rich sentimental value because the homeowner transplanted them from her grandmother’s home. The wide front walk is inviting and attractive with Colorado broken stone and bordered by boxwoods.
In the side yard to the right and below, we handcrafted the cedar arbor and cedar gate with the wood salvaged from the original lot clearing.
Together these structures offer an elegant entranceway and egress through the serene boxwood garden full of vibrant colors and scents.
We installed a rustic covered sitting bench in the corner of the garden where the homeowner can sit and take in the entire peaceful space or even relax with a great book.
The homeowner loves the outdoors and enjoys the wide array of flowers that bloom from month to month: from azaleas to daylilies to a number of types and colors of hydrangeas.
We designed pathways made of the same irregular Colorado broken stone as the front walk. The walkways meander throughout the backyard and are outlined by thickly grown fairy roses. Hand-carved granite birdbaths add to the tranquility we created around the entire property.
We incorporated the birdbaths into the irrigation system so fresh water regularly pumps through copper tubing up to the basin. The native look is maintained as these granite steps pass through red choke cherry viburum and high-bush blueberry.
Roses and hydrangeas embellish the fieldstone wall that was constructed around the Jacuzzi on the patio below the back deck.
It’s a perfect congregating area for family and friends to unwind and enjoy the peaceful backyard in privacy.
Walking up the stone stairs that were built into the wall, another walkway leads you along the far side of the house where a trellis boasts mature and fragrant espalier crabs.
