Newton’s House Front Yard

Harmony in Design: A Ficus-Centered Landscape Transformation

The defining feature of this front yard is a majestic Ficus tree with exposed surface roots, serving as the focal point of the space. We designed a radial layout centered on the tree to accentuate its beauty and create a cohesive flow. To address the challenge posed by the tree’s surface roots, we proposed a raised wooden deck, allowing us to protect the roots while maximizing the usable area for the homeowners. The plant selection was tailored to harmonize with the overall concept, respecting design hierarchy and the client’s preferences.
