The large brick home called for a formal and restrained landscape treatment using traditional boxwood and specimen trees, and bluestone terraces with brick seat-walls.
The pool provided an opportunity to add a modern twist to this layout, with a simple but dramatic sweep of tall ornamental grass as a backdrop that sways with the slightest breeze.
Simple beds of roses and ever-blooming annuals, and a collection of well-planted large pots, provide season-long interest that punctuate the mostly green landscape.

An important and unique modern residence and landscape, designed by renowned architect Edward Larrabee Barnes in 1972, was in dire need of restoration after years of neglect.
Working closely with the new owner, and using the original plan as a guideline, a new landscape plan was designed to restore and update the original landscape features at the same time the house was being restored.
Careful editing and trimming of the surrounding woodland expanded the distant vistas and open meadows that originally inspired the architect to locate the house on this secluded mountaintop.
