clarentineHere's some of what's been keeping me busy the past week. I picked up these clients just before I went out of town in July. Then there was measuring, and thinking, and drawing, resulting first in this version of the converted driveway area:
And then we met, and they decided they'd rather not have any parking area behind the current gate, so I thought some more, and drew some more, and have now proposed this:
All of the major structures are the same; the car gate (lower right corner, horizontal line between the border and the house) goes from a ten-foot-wide, double width gate to one that's five feet wide (or perhaps four, but it has to stay wide enough to accommodate the big rolling trash bins on their journey to the end of the drive on trash days). The barbeque grill area now has co-located seating (that's those cup-shaped half circles about midway down the lefthand sidewalk).
I have some ideas for plants - that's why there are a couple of circles near the former car gate - but at this stage it's mostly about shapes. Once they confirm that the shapes are what they want to see, we'll move into selecting plants and siting them.
