Long Island Nursery & Landscape Association Award presented to Dodds & Eder as a GOLD winner for Active Use area


house-magazine            The proposed swimming pool and new garden area consisted of mature stands of oak and tulip trees and abundant understory plantings.

           A conscientious effort was made to preserve the integrity of the woodland setting and surrounding grade. The unknown width and depth of an exposed rock discovered during construction was initially considered a liability, became a focal point in the garden. house-magazine house-magazine

           The swimming pool orientation was predicated on capturing the view of the harbor. The pool spa and a cool mist system were incorporated at the owner’s request. A bluestone terrace for chaise lounges was created at the spa end of the pool. It is separated by 2’ x 2’ Bluestone stepping stones and backed by lush perennial plantings.

           A separate patio space incorporates 2’ x 2’ bluestones set in a geometric pattern separated by 8’’ grass strips. This space allows for a natural gas fire pit to be enjoyed by the family during evening hours. It is bordered by a garden consisting of a freestanding trellis repeating the curvilinear forms throughout the garden. Looking out across the pool, visitors can take pleasure in the rock that was enhanced with a cascading flow of water over its surface.

           The pool area has been integrated with minimal disruption to the surrounding woodland and compliments the existing landscape. The homeowners now enjoy hosting their entire family and friends in this relaxing and peaceful new retreat.
