Arts & crafts Garden
Far Hills, New Jersey - con't.
In the walled garden an existing pool in the center of a large expanse of lawn has been transformed with new stone coping and black interior finish. Deep planting beds added to the perimeter contain small flowering trees, shrubs, evergreens, perennials, bulbs and annuals with an emphasis on spring and fall at the client's request.
To expand outdoor use terraces were added for dining and entertaining. All new work is enhanced by existing large trees in the background assumed to have originally been planted by Ellen Shipman.
