Formal Boxwood Walkway Layout
A formal garden courtyard on a Lexington farm property near Georgetown Road, built with boxwood structure, wood garden boxes, gravel walkways, metal edging, and clean mulch beds.
This project is strongest as a mixed install, planting, and design proof piece: a restrained garden courtyard for a Bluegrass horse-farm setting where clean geometry mattered more than plant volume.
SCOPE
What This Project Covered
- •Built four individual wood-framed garden sections for a personal courtyard garden
- •Installed gravel walkways through the courtyard so the space stayed usable and clean underfoot
- •Set metal edging to separate the gravel paths from mulch beds and planted boxwood rows
