This lakefront landscape is built for fun in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood. Custom steel screening panels provide decorative separation from the neighboring property. Comfortable chairs surrounding a sleek gas firepit offer a luxurious place to oversee the gardens and watersports, while the deck affords the view while you lounge or dine. Along the winding garden path, the garden is filled with plantings in vibrant colors and varied textures, softening the effect of the steep hill down to the dock. A screening fence provides privacy and paddleboard storage at the waterfront, while stone and driftwood seating provides a gathering space at the rustic wood-burning firepit. Native plantings in the shoreline buffer and spawning gravels on the beach provide a natural Pacific Northwest aesthetic and habitat for local wildlife, restoring the lakefront after the removal of an old concrete bulkhead.
