The large open deck with wrap around seating over looks a lawn with dappled light from the tall surrounding oak trees. The lawn edges are planted with several rugged native species that stand up to all weather conditions. The yard is perched high above a low open field that leads to a marsh area. Just at the precipice of the slope is an organic shaped paver patio with a natural stone fire pit sunken in at the edge. Low warm fires can be gathered around while watching the evolving nature below. The slope has been seeded with a mix of native grasses and is allowed to grow long and tall each year. One central section is mown for access and becomes the best sledding hill for the all the kids (and several adults) in the neighborhood. Low voltage lighting set high in the trees and nestled into gardens adds just enough light to allow for nighttime sledding, fires, and hot chocolate! ![leaf.jpg](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/13583/hubfs/Jan_2016_Site/leaf.jpg?width=201&name=leaf.jpg "leaf.jpg") "I can't tell you how many people come to our "promontory patio" and told us that it was one of the most pleasing spots they had been to in a while. The house is framed nicely in one direction, the lawn edge is interesting and defined, the big trees look majestic and almost cathedral-like, and the drop-off to the meadow, framed by trees, creates a neat vista and feeling of space. In my next life, I'm going to write for a landscaping magazine. Anyway, we really like it and we appreciate all you're doing to make it happen." ~ Beth [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/22032217/2494a49f-e84a-46b2-a80c-eaad611ee81f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/22032217/2494a49f-e84a-46b2-a80c-eaad611ee81f) #444 Some additional information in one line Complimentary Landscape Discovery Session [![Get Started >](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/22032217/215b4622-4968-446f-9f9e-25914f9b22f9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/22032217/215b4622-4968-446f-9f9e-25914f9b22f9)   ### Contact The Garden Continuum® 67 West Street, Suite 101 Medfield, MA 02052 Call us: [+1 (508) 359-8200](tel:+1-508-359-8200) [Privacy Policy](https://22032217.hs-sites.com/privacy-policy) [Terms of Use](https://22032217.hs-sites.com/terms-of-use) [Returns & Refund Policy](https://22032217.hs-sites.com/return-and-refund-policy) [Service Area](https://22032217.hs-sites.com/service-area) ### From Our Blog ### Subscribe to Blog ### CONNECT WITH US [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/1648543) [**](https://www.facebook.com/pages/The+Garden+Continuum,+Inc/108768312491193) [**](https://twitter.com/GardenContinuum) [**](https://www.youtube.com/user/gardencontinuuminc) [**](https://www.pinterest.com/gardencontinuum/) [**](https://plus.google.com/+GardenContinuumINC) [**](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/blog/rss.xml) [**](https://www.instagram.com/thegardencontinuum/) ### Connect With Us ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=130157905576293&ev=PageView&noscript=1) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "WebSite", "potentialAction" : { "@type" : "SearchAction", "query-input" : "required name=search_term_string", "target" : { "@type" : "EntryPoint", "urlTemplate" : "https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/search-results?term={search_term_string}" } }, "url" : "https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/" } ```
