Patel Residence

August 24, 2018

Project Overview

Much of the lot that the Patel residence sits on had proven to be unusable. With a severe slope running down to a creek and the associated drainage problems, the backyard did not provide adequate play areas for the family and pets. The construction of a retaining wall, fill dirt and fencing combined to create a safe playing area that was sodded to create an expansive lawn with a safety fence.

Before

Types of Work

  • Constructing a retaining wall, installing fill dirt and grading
  • Storm drainage was planned and installed to eliminate erosion of the creek bed
  • Large sodded area was laid and irrigation installed
  • Fencing was added across the back for safety and security

After

A project of this nature dramatically improved the usability of the backyard as a safe play area for kids and pets and could ultimately house a pool. Adding accent lighting and new plantings are the finishing touches to this project.

The Cook Residence

August 24, 2018

Project Overview

Seasonal and perennial plantings bring a burst of color to the Cook home throughout the year. Its pool area features a spacious new entertainment area and outdoor kitchen surrounding a one-of-a-kind pool accented with flatstone walls and waterfall, colorful plantings and plush lawns. Paved walkways and lush greenspaces invite friends and family to enjoy the Cooke’s warm hospitality in this amazing setting.

Before
After

 

The home features a welcoming new rose garden that, based on before and after photos, is simply hard to have imagined as part of the formal entryway. Featuring raised planters and new greenery throughout, the garden area’s enhanced plantings provide year-round pleasure, appreciated by those with finer tastes. The front pine island features a sturdy oak and colorful seasonal and perennial plantings bring added life to the sandstone exterior of the home.

Before
After

Types of Work

  • Designed and built a spacious pool side entertainment center with kitchen and bar
  • Added seasonal and perennial color to the front island
  • Built a welcoming rose garden and walkway for the entryway
  • Upgraded landscaping and lawns surrounding the pool deck
  • Added accent lighting for easy night time use

There is truly a stark contrast between “before and after” for both the pool area and the rose garden.  With the attention to detail in the design, construction and installation, this hardscape-landscape project can only be called a masterpiece.

The home’s entryway was accented with flat stone and new plantings.

Leizel Lane

December 4, 2014

LSI_1439Project Overview

The Lane family had great basic landscaping on their yard around their beautiful home. When they wanted to expand their entertainment area, Etowah designed a beautiful outdoor kitchen, a little getaway and meditation area and enhanced planting to give them year round pleasure. A couple of years later Etowah went back to the property for more improvements, including creating a rose garden, removing unwanted and overgrown plants and replacing them with beautiful shrubs and flowers.

Types of Work

  • Outdoor kitchen and bar for friends and families. Stone fire pit and seat wall.
  • Enhancement Plan – considered light and soil conditions as basis for selecting plants which will provide year around interest through flowering and plant characteristics.
  • Stepping Stone Patio under the existing arbor with connections to house and stairs.
  • Planting arrangements in existing planters.

Words from the homeowner

Prior to hiring Etowah we moved into a home where the yard and landscaping were neglected by previous owners. Once we engaged Etowah we were able to re-design and reformat the yard to always be pretty, but also low maintenance and have long-term continuous blooms depending on the season. Careful planning of balance and aesthetics so there was am oasis created in the yard has made it easy for us to make the investment upfront and enjoy the returns with low maintenance thereafter.  So worth it!  Great relationships and a long-term commitment!

Wendy & Tom Money

December 4, 2014

Project Overview

The Moneys worked with Etowah to combine their family’s vision with our design and construction knowledge to create an entertaining and relaxing area. Our innovative design and installation team has been helping the Money family for more than four years, and we will continue to work hard for many more.

Types of Work

In the front yard the existing lawn required plantings to support a positive slope for drainage. The front yard was very overgrown taking space from the open lawn and making for an unsightly view. Etowah Landscape provided detailed plans to create textures and colors using zone-appropriate plants that required little maintenance and created soft and lush plantings.

Before
After
Before
After

The backyard needed to be designed for entertaining as well as personal quiet time. Etowah created an outdoor grill perfect for gatherings that served as a retaining wall for the dining patio. Natural slab steps lead to an upper open garden where we created an elegant rectangular pool with fire pit and stone seat wall. Lush flowering trees and shrubs continue in the rest of the upper garden. Creating a dry creek bed added an enhanced woodland look that the Money family now enjoys.
