Case Study in Landscape Design
All projects should begin with a design. When you invest thousands of dollars in your property improvements, you want to make it the best it can be.
In this case study, we are redesigning the entrance to a church.
Three designs have been created. As in most projects, the initial ideas needed to be either fully developed, or abandoned.
Featured Project:
A new design for Church front entrance
The church entrance has a flight of stairs, with a view of a stark white wall, which happens to be the basement utility room. There is another entrance, which has a ramp instead of stairs, to the sanctuary, with a beautiful cutting garden for alter flowers, and we wanted this entrance to be just as attractive . See Above Picture of Marta in church flower garden.
Two fleur de Lis benches and a pedestal for a religious statue were already purchased. The statue would be decided by the clergy.
first design
Our first design focused on decorating the wall with a fleur de lis mosaic in stone. The existing camellia would have to be removed. This design was abandoned because it called too much attention to the wall. Softening it with plantings seemed to be a better solution.
second design
This design is more heavily planted, creating a niche garden in front of the wall, intended to be a sitting area. There is a small area of stone paving for the 2 benches. Leveling the ground for paving created a steeper slope up to the garden, which seemed to detach it from the walk. Design is abandoned because the location of the sitting area seemed awkward and unusable.
third design
Here, we moved the benches down to the walkway, where people could more easily access them. A stone path through the grass focuses on the statue. There is no need for regrading, The existing edging is reset to make a planting bed for flowers.
This is our favorite design, because it is welcoming, and provides a visual resting area before ascending the stairs.
