改造后的雨水花园庭院 Rain Garden by Ten Eyck Landscape Architects

Ten Eyck Landscape Architects : 对这片半英亩的住宅景观的改造展示了华丽的传统橡树，并解决了之前存在的几个问题，包括排水系统差、坚硬的岩石基材、与街道的连接性差，以及以坚硬的路面和草坪为主的地面。

Ten Eyck Landscape Architects : The renovation of this half-acre residential landscape showcases gorgeous heritage oaks and resolves several pre-existing site challenges, including poor drainage, solid rock substrate, a lack of connectivity to the street, and a surface dominated by hard paving and lawn.

前院以前由草坪和一个巨大的沥青环道组成，现在是一个梯田雨水收集花园，里面有果树、草药、蔬菜，以及吸引鸟类和蝴蝶的本地植物的对比按摩。这些拱形的梯田被石灰岩所保留，这些石灰岩是在建造后院的花园房间时发掘出来的。在铁丝网门的门槛之外，你会看到一个庭院，它的中心是室外壁炉的壁炉，一个正式的草坪，而在后面的房子附近，有一片后山林环绕着一个满是水的水槽。明智的硬地景观调色板由钢、豌豆砾石、混凝土踏板和稳定的腐烂花岗岩组成，它们结合了各种花园房间。其结果是形成了一片苍翠宜人的住宅景观，吸引了人们的感官，有助于居民和附近野生动物的健康。

The front yard, formerly comprised of turf and a large asphalt circle drive, is now a terraced rainwater harvesting garden that hosts fruit trees, herbs, vegetables, and contrasting massings of native plants that attract birds and butterflies. The arced terraces are retained by limestone block unearthed during the creation of backyard garden rooms. Beyond the threshold of wire mesh gates, one encounters a courtyard centered on the hearth of an outdoor fireplace, a formal lawn, and near the back house beyond, a grove of Possumhaw trees flanking a brimming water trough. The judicious hardscape palette consists of steel, pea gravel, concrete step pads and stabilized decomposed granite, which unifies the various garden rooms. The result is a verdant and inviting residential landscape that appeals to the senses and contributes to the wellness of its residents and neighborhood wildlife.
