Portico Influences Shapes

When the portico was built, below, I knew exactly how to design its landing.  A bit tricky because it is also

 part of the parking court, below.  Blue stone leads to the front door, below, shaped like the portico where it touches the exposed aggregate drive.  The space called for formality.  Hence the beds touching the house are edged in raised granite cobblestones.

 Not far away, below, the property line, alas, at the crest of a slope & near a neighbor.

What neighbor?  What property line?  I put in a 4-board fence with hogwire exactly like the rest of the 400 acres with horses.

Pics taken at a jobsite last week.  WTF, 400 acres & horses?  Hardly, this is infill new construction on less than an acre.  A dream home.  They've lived nearby for many years & the land recently became available.  Doesn't matter, the historic architecture demanded the 4-board fencing.  (Balance with the brick, stone, exposed aggregate drive, and iron railings, being made now, for the portico.  And narrative.  You do realize every fabulous landscape has a narrative?  Another thing they do not teach in college.)  Will stain the 4-board fencing the same black as the house shutters, and jasmine 'Madison' will grow on it.

Cannot wait for the drive to get its first cleaning, iron for the portico, & .......

What a fun job.  My clients buy me new gardens.  And I love having this one.  Oh my, I love having them all.
