Set in the heart of Libertyville’s heritage district the homeowners were looking for an outdoor space to entertain as well as some lawn for their kids to run around. The bluestone patio with brick accents fits nicely into the rear garden and provides a comfortable passage from the garage to the house. Two urns mark its edge and opens up onto the main lawn accented by a seasonal garden border. In the front, a subtle shade garden quietly compliments the wrap around porch and sings in the springtime with a mixture of rhododendrons and bulbs.
