COTTAGE - Traditional

Oftentimes for landscape design professionals, the most challenging projects are the most rewarding. This was definitely the case with this project, a gem located on a serene bay of Lake Beulah in East Troy, Wisconsin. The homeowner purchased the property, removed a dilapidated cottage, and built a beautiful new home featuring classic architectural styling and details. One particular challenge of the project was saving the existing trees.  Before construction began all trees were isolated with brightly colored fencing for protection.  Not one tree was damaged during construction, and to this day all trees are thriving and healthy.  In fact, most of the existing trees were incorporated into planting beds. This helped strengthen the connection between old and new site elements. In the end, the project was a huge success.  All objectives were satisfied by utilizing careful planning, solid design, and stellar craftsmanship.
