Townhouse landscaping design and consulation in Austin Texas by Liz Klein

Townhouse landscape design & installation

Property:

The Arboretum

Objective:

Homeowner lives in a twin home (or townhouse) which shares a backyard area visible to adjacent neighbors. He wanted an open patio area with a water feature where he could barbecue while visiting with his next door neighbors.

Design Solution:

1.	Added a new saw cut limestone patio and resurfaced the existing concrete porch with limestone to tie the two areas together. Made a long limestone step down to the new patio, which doubles as extra seating.
2.	The patio was made more intimate by adding a curved 18” high limestone bench, with lighted columns, creating a sense of privacy in what is a very public space.
3.	A large concrete tiered fountain was added as a focal point. It can be seen from inside the house as well as outdoors. Running water helps reduce the sound of traffic on the busy street behind the backyard.
