Rural Retreat
Turning Two Acres into a Manageable, Beautiful Retreat
The Challenge
This newly built home sat on a sprawling two-acre parcel, offering rural charm but no clear landscape plan.
The homeowners wanted to enjoy the openness of the setting without feeling overwhelmed by maintenance or unused space.
The Solution
We approached the property with purposeful design. Gathering spaces were placed close to the home for ease and comfort, while the broader landscape was shaped to frame the open rural views.
We used hardy, low-maintenance plantings including native grasses and natural mulches, to create beautiful, sustainable zones that require minimal upkeep. Every material was chosen for longevity, ensuring the landscape would age gracefully alongside the home.
The Result
The property now feels effortlessly natural: wide open, peaceful, and completely livable.
What could have been a daunting expanse now invites daily use, whether it’s a quiet morning outdoors or an afternoon gathering with family and friends. It’s a perfect balance between rural beauty and everyday functionality.
