A putting green is just one of the special elements of the full landscaping plan Seiler’s Landscaping did for this client who built a custom home in Maineville. New home landscaping provides a blank slate, which is always both challenging and exciting.
Speaking of challenges, because the home was designed in 2020, the landscape design process was all done virtually. Revisions made over video calls moved the design closer and closer to the homeowners’ dream of creating curb appeal in the front and beautiful outdoor living spaces around the home. In the end, we were able to present a plan that the homeowners truly loved.
“We wanted to make sure all the outdoor elements worked well with one another and complemented the beautiful stone and brick on the house,” said Will Seiler, president of Seiler’s Landscaping.
One major challenge was the steep slope of the site. Our plan for the landscaping included building a retaining wall to create a flat backyard space that would be perfect for the putting green. A curving bed and plantings soften the look of the stonework and blend the retaining wall with the sloping side yard.
A screened outdoor living area overlooks the level backyard, which is ringed with curving plant beds.
A cobblestone driveway and walkway to the side porch echo the home’s French country style. Special ordered from Canada, the cobblestone pavers create a charming look and make a memorable impression.
The client and Will Seiler share a love of golf, so creating a putting green right in this home’s backyard was an exciting project. A flagstone patio creates a spot to sit and watch the family golfers practice their short game.
Just outside the screened outdoor living space, a bubbling water feature appeals to the senses with textured rock columns surrounded by river rock, the sound and feel of splashing water and colorful pockets of seasonal plantings.
Along the side of the home, a stacked stone wall borders a bed and complements the stone accents around the windows and porch post supports.
Seiler’s landscape design for this new home included shrubs and perennials that thrive in the Cincinnati climate, select trees and LED lighting to make sure the home continues to shine after the sun sets.
A curved cobblestone walkway runs along the front of the home, adding even more curb appeal. “It takes a village to build a project like this,” Will Seiler says, praising everyone on the team from the front office staff to the construction foreman to the material acquisition point person to the crew.
