For a wooded property, start with what you want to preserve: mature trees, privacy, established views, and the character around the house. Then decide how the outdoor space should work.
Discuss Your Woodland Property
Landscape Charlie serves Woodland with connected landscape and hardscape planning. The project example above connects levels with steps and gravel landings. For your yard, consider the actual elevations, available access, and features to preserve.
A path or step project can address a difficult route between the house and yard. Map the existing elevations, landing locations, access, and water movement before choosing the construction. The actual site determines what supporting design and approvals are needed.
A patio or outdoor room should fit the trees, views, furniture, and routes around it. A revised footprint may work better than forcing excavation into a sensitive location. Establish tree assessment and protection needs before fixing the plan.
Landscape lighting can focus on the entrance, walking route, a change in level, or a selected tree. The project example here illustrates light on trees beside a driveway. Fixture placement, intensity, controls, and the arrangement of trees and paving all affect how the space feels.
Consider the view from inside, glare, neighboring windows, care access, and the controls you want. Coordinate the proposed system with the landscape and any necessary qualified electrical work.
Identify trees and surfaces to retain, available staging and access, buried systems, and the areas where grade may change. Confirm the parcel’s applicable requirements and any necessary professional assessments. The written scope should establish protection, responsibilities, restoration, and how changes are approved.
