This award-winning European inspired garden creates a cozy, elevated outdoor dinning experience just off of the kitchen while a roof system built into the mahogany deck provides protection from the elements on the stone porch below.  Stepping down off of the porch the surrounding diamond patterned flagstone patio leads the eye to a formal pond with a simple splashing water jet and aquatic plants and fish assure a soothing calming effect for everyone who enters the space.  Cedar privacy fencing with espalier Viburnum defines the sides of the courtyard garden, while a Cedar fence with an open lattice and gate maintain views to the woodland beyond.  At night, carefully placed outdoor lighting reflects on the waters surface adding another dimension to the garden while extending the usability of the space.
