Set in Highland Park, this project meets the challenge of a high water table with an elevated design built for resilience. Every plant was selected to thrive with wet feet, while steel edging cleanly defines the lawn, artificial turf surrounds the pool for low-maintenance polish, and a custom powder-coated steel planter adds a modern focal point. Function and refined style come together in a landscape that performs as beautifully as it looks.
