A sustainable approach was taken for this modern inner city residence. To reduce water use and maintenance while creating an aesthetically pleasing front entry, the installation of sedum-sod in replacement of traditionally lawns was favoured. The pre-grown tiles were carefully installed in between cast in place slabs and precast pavers. Design details were carefully considered, such as sufficient space provided in consideration for proper sedum growth between hardscape areas, while maintaining a visual aesthetic and functional use and one walks through the space.

The smooth finish concrete privacy wall, vertical and linear trees species selection, and uplight lighting effect in the front entry emphasizes the level of detail considered in the design of this entry landscape. The intent was to provide a sophisticated and welcoming sense of entry to the dwelling while maintaining visual privacy. The design is successful in providing sequencing and visual approach from the street level. Careful attention to detail of construction methods and techniques, including mulch rock selection, metal edging type, careful material separation, even spacing hardscape, as well as proper grading and levelling for different materials to be consistent on one plane.

This garden provides a beautiful contemporary aesthetic and sustainable approach to this front entry.
