HILLSBOROUGH HAVEN

With family gatherings and outdoor entertainment as key priorities of their new home’s landscape, TFLA and the client collaborated to design and create their dream retreat. The original site design had a pool orientation that divided the yard and fell flat on reveal. However, with a few adjustments to the site design the pool was rotated 90 degrees to align with the front entry, a new water feature was added, and then anchored with specimen Canary Island Date Palm. With the combination of these elements, and a custom outdoor fire-pit, pool house, sports court, and plenty of lawn space for play, the property became the haven they could only dream about.
