G Brown Design, Inc. provided design-build services to improve the landscape at this vacation home in Park City, Utah. The new site and landscape design integrated the yard into the natural landscape, while making the outdoor living spaces more comfortable and inviting. GBD designed dry-stack stonewalls with steps for easy access to the upper parts of the property. The walls help screen less desirable views from the home. Large boulders and specimen trees frame distant views and define spaces, while adding scale to the landscape and the house. Outdoor lighting creates landscape focal points and provides illumination for evening use while satisfying local dark sky codes. As construction managers for the owners, GBD worked closely with the landscape contractor and others to ensure that the design intent and quality of construction were maintained.
