Premier Landscape Contractors • Lemont Hinsdale Grand Entry
A confusing and failing front entrance was the start of this project. The space was renovated to allow for a large, linked front entry with arrival court. The plantings are mirrored on each side to give an illusion of symmetry, while the large pillow jumper stones create the look of a space that was original with the architecture. In the back, the client now has a full outdoor kitchen with bar seating and mood lighting along their cedar pergola. Linked along the central axis is a new fire pit that blends its way into the yard and a hot tub surrounded by a timeless Ipe deck and screen. Intermittent plant massings soften the Cambridge limestone space and lead to a very comfortable backyard entertaining terrace for years to come.
