226 xxx Forest Way Louisville, TN 37xxx
Currently, the patio is ~820 sqft. The planting bed, that surrounds it, is ~1270 sqft. Similar to the entire property, the patio is very open and has very little privacy. Additionally, this patio is the only real “outdoor living� area.
By pushing out and expanding the areas for normal seating and gathering, we begin to define space in a yard that is unprogrammed and generic. We can double the outdoor living space instead of walling off the little currently available.
The other important factor to keep in mind is view. There are many beautiful features in this part of Louisville, and with careful framing can be enjoyed while also having privacy. There are the nearby houses and roadway to block, while keeping views to the water and hills open.
Instead of planting close to the patio, we propose pushing the planting outward towards the edges of the property. This expands the amount of defined and usable space, while creating privacy.
Use the same type of rough stone that edges the patio and scatter them out into the yard. This could be in many different kinds of patterns and densities, but it will be a step down from the patio and define a second area for gathering. The new edge will be lined with gravel instead of the mulch that is there now. This area can have patio furniture or possibly a fire pit.
To create a living border year round, we should establish a base of evergreen trees and shrubs. They maintain a screen without losing density through the seasons. The mix of trees all have different tones and textures, so when combined still provide interest.
Juniperus virginiana
Ilex opaca
Tsuga canadensis ‘Sergentii’
To help fill in the screen, deciduous trees are included to also add seasonal color interest. They each have a very distinct autumn color that will pop against the evergreen background. Then when their leaves fall off, they can blend into the background without drawing too much attention. All of these are also great shade trees for intense summer sun.
Robinia pseudoacacia
Fraxinus pennsylvanica
Acer saccharum
The final group are the small trees and shrubs that bloom through spring and summer. Scents and berries also attract birds and butterflies.
Kalmia latifolia
Pee Gee Hydrangea
Amalanchier
Photinia x fraseri
With the planting of all of these trees, a portion of will be changed from grass to planting beds. This area will be mostly mulch and will require very little maintenance.
To finish defining the space, perennial planting beds with encircle the newly defined privacy lawn and pathways to the other parts of the property. These plantings will be on a 3’x3’ matrix and can be decided in the next step. Typically, these will be low grasses, bulbs, and herbaceous perennials. Here is also an option for a kitchen garden.

Roberty and Kitty Qulia Project 1: Create privacy for patio at back of house. Customers would like to have plants installed that will provide privacy on their back patio. Existing bed is approx. 6’ deep and can be extended as needed to provide proper area for planting. Plants should reach 6-7’ in height. Customers would like a “wall of vegitation”. Customers really like Pee Gee Hydrangeas. They also like English Laurels and Holly trees but are open to suggestions. Project 2: Create “island bed” at back right corner of property. Options for island bed could be Magnolia tree, Crape Myrtles with grasses planted underneath. Other options are also welcomed. *** I’ve included a picture of the Crape Myrtle with grass planted underneath similar to what customer wants.
