GEVAS / MERA GARDEN
WASHINGTON, DC - A lovely courtyard effect was created by elevating the landscape beds and installing a seat height retaining wall and a flagstone walkway. Two large slabs of stone were mounted to the top of the wall to serve as built-in benches. The benches are centered on the garden focal point which is a new water feature with three simple water jets. The combination of a grade separated plant bed and incorporating thorny plants along the edges, helped keep the puppy out of the landscape and from tracking mud indoors.
