Outdoor Living in Arlington Ridge, VA

The creation of outdoor living spaces drove the design for this home’s side yard. An outdoor living room was located at the end of an existing driveway, with moveable planters acting as a visual separation and lights strung overhead to create intimacy. In the rear yard, a new patio and bbq area was created, along with a sodded area for the family’s dogs to enjoy. In the front yard, a strip of planters along the driveway allow for edibles to grow in full sun and a small rain garden located at the lowest elevation of the site creates a unique opportunity to control and treat storm-water buildup.
