A Fox Trace

A Fox Trace was a comprehensive landscape design-build project for clients in Hudson, Ohio. Responding to the home’s colonial architecture, the design features clean lines, traditional materials, and high-end finishes throughout. In the front yard, a new cut-to-pattern true bluestone walkway was created to connect the new concrete driveway to the front door, flanked on either side by traditional layered plantings well-suited to the home’s architecture.

A matching walkway leads visitors around the home into the backyard, drawing guests in with its wide entry. Passing through the black aluminum gate, visitors are welcomed to the terraced bluestone patios featuring an outdoor kitchen, open-air dining space, bubbling water feature, and firepit patio. Overlooking the backyard is the client’s screened room addition, complete with conservatory skylight and retractable wall screen which allows for a smooth transition between indoors and out. Informal connections between spaces are provided by irregular bluestone stepping stones, while rock-faced bluestone walls provide structure to the design, reinforcing the linear elements that can be found throughout. Traditional planting selections installed in a simple, modern arrangement complete the space, providing privacy and visual interest throughout the year.
