  • The Goshen patio with an elegant staircase to the lower terrace

    Secluded promontory in Northampton

    When the owners of this Crescent Street property purchased this home, it had been converted into a 2-family residence with driveways on either side.  They restored the property to a single family home, and Paradise City Landscape Design redesigned the outdoor patio to create a scenic overlook to the lower gardens.  A custom railing reflects […]

  • A quiet and secluded back yard

    Secret hillside garden in Northampton

    The outdoor backyard space of this hillside property presented an opportunity for the owners to create a secluded and unexpected retreat.  The new 3-season porch offers views overlooking the two Goshen stone patios, which invite the owners to enjoy the dappled light in a cool, shady environment.  The meandering Goshen paths are planted with moss […]

  • Upper patio, third year

    Floating patio in Amherst

    This mid-20th century contemporary home features a steep hillside garden in the backyard, with the stone patio space doubling as a catch basin for rainwater from the overhanging roof.  Built in the 1950’s, the aged landscape had degraded to the point where a new scheme was needed.  Paradise City Landscape Design created a design which […]

  • Looking down towards the driveway AFTER

    Beckoning arrival in Williamsburg

    The owners of this woodland property wanted a more comfortable arrival sequence to their home.  On a hillside, the original front porch and Goshen steps created a massive trek to get to the owners’ front door…. not a very welcoming gesture. Paradise City Landscape Design teamed up with Kuhn Riddle Architects of Amherst and Lee […]

  • The nestled patio

    Private Retreat in Northampton

    Paradise City Landscape Design created a layered planting scheme in the backyard where the owner of this property added a year-round sunroom. The expansive glass panels create the sensation of being outside while being inside with views all around.  The outdoor patio provides a secluded respite where the owner enjoys the soft bubbling sound of […]

  • The Discovery Garden, one year after installation, a place to play and explore

    Discovery garden in Florence

    The owner of this 6-acre property in Florence was interested in creating fun outdoor play spaces for her children. The property is a double lot, with a spring-fed pond and wetland on the northern parcel, with the residence located on the southern parcel.

  • Elevation drawing to model the mix and location of trees and shrubs

    Fresh landscape for Northampton business

    The mixed shrubs at the front of this business were fully matured and required a high degree of annual maintenance.  The owner was interested in a fresh, new look, and decided to replace the plantings in their entirety. Paradise City Landscape Design proposed to add trees to the front plantings to add stature to offset the […]
