Hardscape Solutions: Local Roots Landscaping delivers grand entrance for homeowner with overhaul

November 27, 2023 by Staff Reporter

LOCATION: Pittsburgh, Pa.

COMPANY: Local Roots Landscaping

The client approached Local Roots Landscaping to overhaul their front yard from concept to completion. The homeowner wanted privacy from the neighbors and a grand entrance.

Kenneth Deemer, managing partner of Local Roots, says a three-dimensional design helped this client understand how the project would look once completed.

The property is in a historic neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Many of the homes are 100 years old or more. Staging proved to be a major challenge for this project due to its small footprint.

“Selecting the right equipment was very important because we had to lift some very heavy things,” he says, noting the project features 7-foot sandstone steps that weigh 900 to 1,200 pounds.

MQuip’s vacuum lifting equipment helped the Local Roots team place the heavy steps throughout the property as part of the grade change and transitions. Deemer also says utilizing Smart Level, a precision altimeter, helped the Local Roots team accurately capture the dimensions of the project.

“In order to estimate accurately and quickly and understand how many steps we are going to need to put in and how tall the walls are going to be, altimeters are great,” he says.

Other details include a sandstone retaining wall to achieve the desired grade, five sandstone pillars, 17 sandstone steps, a bluestone walkway and patio with landscape lighting, a planting section with drip irrigation and a sodded yard.

For this project, Local Roots Landscaping won a Bronze Award from the 2022 National Association of Landscape Professionals’ Awards of Excellence program.

Hardscape Solutions: Welcome to paradise

October 25, 2023 by Staff Reporter

LOCATION: Weston, Conn.

COMPANY: Hoffman Landscapes

An existing client approached the team at Hoffman Landscapes to transform his backyard pool and in-ground hot tub into a resort-style island oasis. The client wanted to host a Fourth of July party to christen the new space.

“We did a lot of tropical plantings,” says Matt Biron, landscape architect with Hoffman Landscapes.

Setting the 14-foot-wide, 10-inch-thick capstone above the pool’s grotto was a challenge, says Biron. Hoffman Landscapes combined the pool and the hot tub to create the grotto. Biron designed a large retaining wall to separate the wetland area behind the backyard.

“We turned it into this weird shape pool and made it more of a lagoon with this stone grotto with a big waterfall (and) big cascade stone on top of the waterfall. We incorporated a fiberglass dolphin slide and nestled it in with all of that rock work that we actually harvested from some local property,”
he says.

Biron says lighting plays a huge role in this design. Hoffman Landscapes added Coastal Source tiki lights, which feature LED downlights and a flamed torch to create the island feel.

“When you turn the landscape light on it, you still get the effect of the light, but then you also get the flame from the tiki,” he says.

Other details include an outdoor kitchen, fire bowls, Coastal Source wired-in speakers and lights tucked in around tropical plants that run through an app on the client’s phone.

For this project, Hoffman Landscapes won a Silver Award from the 2022 National Association of Landscape Professionals’ Awards of Excellence program.

The whimsy of a waterslide was important to this client. The slide itself is commercial-grade and includes 3-inch diameter piping for water flow. Hoffman Landscape encourages moss to grow on the stone structure to give it a natural appearance.

Crews replaced the existing paver patio with larger slabs of ash granite to give a resort-style feel. Along with tropical plants, Hoffman Landscape selected an assortment of native plant materials including Agastache, Coreopsis, hydrangea and a flowing lavender border to provide rotating seasonal color.

The steps, patio areas and interior of the grotto are well-lit with Coastal Source lighting. Various uplighting fixtures highlight design features like plant materials and stonework. Hoffman Landscapes included tiki lights to emphasize the tropical island theme.

A series of flat-topped boulders sits above the grotto. These seating boulders provide a unique vantage point of the pool house and the patio below.

Hoffman Landscape sourced a large flat slab to sit at the top of the grotto’s water feature. This slab cleverly hides the plumbing equipment that makes the waterfall possible. Installing this piece was a challenge for crews that needed to maneuver it into place without disrupting the pool house and wetlands on either side.
