Design Project 1 |
|
Before After  
A lovely wood clad house on a lot that had overgrown, dying plants, no parking and where the entry was obscured by shrubs – our design created a inviting entry and a large defined parking area that beautifully merged with new walls, fencing & screening and gated patios. |

Design Project 2 |
|
Before   After  
A small backyard with a staircase to nowhere was transformed into a true outdoor room with the use of creative masonry and stonework design; This “room” now has water features including a fountain and a spa, and an outdoor fireplace that all merge seamlessly with the use of elegant curves. |

Design Project 3 |
|
Before After          
A traditional Georgian style brick home; the site was visually constricting, from the front the house sits atop a hill however from the rear the slope from the woodlands allowed water to drain toward the house and into the basement.The resulting microclimate was hot & humid in summer and damp & cold in the spring & fall. Petro’s architectural design for grading, structures (trellis, pavilion & pergola with classical columns, pool cabana, masonry design, walls and extensive flagstone patios and lush plantings solved these major problems and created an elegant oasis for comfort and entertaining. |

Design Project 4 |
|
Before After  
A very stately brick home in a high end suburban enclave with very little outdoor access; typical wood decks and rails did not fit the site or the homeowner’s style. The solution of a multi - level brick patio addition with iron rails and a garden level covered patio with grand arches complimented the scale and site perfectly. |

Before After        
The owners calculated exactly the right moment to design and plan the gardens and hardscapes as the house was being built – all the phases of the landscape design & gardens plus the construction flowed in an orderly process to create these lovely formal gardens and outdoor rooms. |

Design Project 6 |
|
Before  After     
A center city, narrow backyard with an old aluminum covered carport was in dire need of a plan to work with the homes interior design; the result is an outdoor room with new deck, hardscapes, rails, fountain, and a very clever solution for the carport – a trellis that adds natural dappled shade and an extra seating area when the car is removed. |

Design Project 7 |
|
Before  After  
The house had a very plain, unprotected entry and the yard was essentially empty. This home needed presence – and with the addition of squared columns and covered portico and the grand neighborhood style of plantings the home now stands out with a focal point entry and lush landscaping.
