WikWorks, Inc: Kingston Backyard Landscape Design Project

This project, located in Kingston, MA, was designed and built for a new client of ours that we met through our donation to "Say it with Flowers."

After meeting with the client, and coming up with a list of items to have in the design, we then began the process of putting together a plan. We came up with an initial design and after 3 revisions we finalized the drawing (as seen above) and began the installation.

The client was looking for a patio, raised garden beds and a "green" screen to border their neighbors property which is on the right of the above photo. We designed and installed planting beds that will give the client color year round. One of the main design elements in the planting beds are perennials. We use a variety of perennials that begin flowering in early spring and wrap up by late fall. The goal is that something must always be flowering.

Planting beds were added in front of the gas tank in order to help mask it, without hindering access.

The above view is facing the neighbors property, which is the location where the "green" screen was to be located. The "green" screen planting bed was made up of 3 deciduous flowering trees, 4 evergreens (Hinoki Falsecypress an awesome underused shrub) and a variety of perennials.

The Patio we installed was a circular design kit by Cambridge Paving Stone in a Toffee/Onyx color. The dimensions of the patio is a 14' diameter circle. When we finished the job, the steps off the back porch had not been installed yet, so thus the reason for a patio to "no where." The raised garden beds are 16" off the ground, giving the client the ability to sit on the edge while gardening or weeding.
