The Harris Property

Mountain new-build · Western North Carolina

Client goals

The Harris family had just built a brand-new home in the mountains and envisioned a stunning pool deck overlooking breathtaking views. They wanted a clean, low-maintenance landscape — a space where guests could relax with a glass of wine on summer evenings, surrounded by beauty without the burden of constant upkeep.

Their property was a blank slate, full of possibility. They had a clear vision: a landscape both immediately usable and thoughtfully designed, where every element served function and aesthetics from day one.

What they needed

  • A polished, guest-ready landscape for their new mountain home
  • Clean, low-maintenance design that complements mountain views
  • Functional access from home to pool
  • Aesthetically pleasing drainage solutions
  • Immediate visual impact — greenery and structure from the start

Drag to reveal the transformation

Our approach

How we made it happen

We co-created a hardscape and plant design that was usable from day one. Dry river-rock beds turned necessary drainage into a feature, while dry-stacked walls showcased plantings that frame the property, and a staircase connects the home to the pool below. Staggered boulder terraces create natural structure and dimension, working with the mountain terrain. We installed sod for immediate lush greenery — no waiting for grass to establish. The comprehensive design included retaining walls, boulder terracing, plant design with mulching, a locking-block wall, and evergreen screening for privacy. The result is a refined mountain retreat, beautiful and functional from the moment we finished.
