Landscape Management, June 2017
Blending old with new LOCATION Collingswood N J COMPANY Ledden Palimeno Landscape Co Sewell N J THE DETAILS The clients wanted a small plunge pool to take on the feel of a pond with strong elements of rock walls and bluestone terracing It had to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape and century old residence Access was limited so small equipment was needed The mature trees needed to be protected and not encroached upon The shape and size of the pool was bound by the surrounding tree root zone so the pool had to be closer to the house creating the need for a larger retaining wall Because the team built a dry stacked wall a solid grouted concrete masonry wall was installed behind it to retain the upper terrace Weather was a challenge so the team tented the project at times to stay on schedule The project earned Ledden Palimeno Landscape Co a 2016 Grand Award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals Awards of Excellence program PHOTO Looking back across the pool boxwood plantings provide a softening separation between the bluestone deck and fieldstone walls See more photos from this project at Landscape Management net BigPicture June 2017 LANDSCAPEMANAGEMENT NET 7 PHOTO Ledden PaLimenO LandscaPe cO Big picture
