Bringing Farmhouse Charm to the Water's Edge: A Landscape Transformation

bernard-blog

We recently had the pleasure of designing and installing a full landscape plan for a beautiful waterfront property.

From the beginning, our clients envisioned a space that would blend the tranquility of their water view with the warmth and charm of a classic farmhouse aesthetic. They wanted something that felt timeless and inviting—yet with a touch of modern style to keep things fresh.

To bring their vision to life, we created a custom landscape design that carefully balanced lush greenery with clean lines and natural materials. Our team selected and installed a variety of plant materials to soften the space while complementing the serene waterfront backdrop. We leaned into a tropical farmhouse style, incorporating a mix of ornamental grasses, flowering shrubs, and leafy textures that added depth and vibrancy to the property. Subtle modern accents were added to keep the design current without detracting from its rustic charm.

A key feature of the project was the addition of an outdoor patio, strategically placed near the yard to serve as a perfect spot for grilling and entertaining. This area was designed with functionality and comfort in mind, using natural stone and warm wood tones to tie in with the overall farmhouse theme.

To complete the outdoor experience, we also constructed a cozy fireplace seating area closer to the water. It's an ideal gathering space for enjoying cool evenings, roasting marshmallows, or simply relaxing while taking in the view.

This project was a true collaboration between vision and craft. The result is a welcoming, stylish, and peaceful landscape that feels like a natural extension of the home—and the perfect place to enjoy both sunrise coffees and sunset gatherings.
