Take a peek at one of our newest projects in West Ashley! This coastal modern oasis seamlessly blends clean lines, warn tones, and sophisticated touches with the marsh backdrop. The travertine patio and sleek minimalist furniture contrasts with the lush, textured landscape creating an interesting and welcoming space.

A back coastal modern oasis in Charleston, SC with a rectangle pool, sleek touches, and textured plant material like muhly grass, milkweed, selloums, and various palms. The backyard backs up to the marsh and the plant material seamlessly blends the home with the landscape.

How we achieved the look:

The plants in this landscape are diverse and work together to serve different purposes. The muhly grass, papyrus, and pampas easily blend the landscaping with the marsh and add much needed texture against the brick home. Plus, the muhly grass adds fall interest with pink and white fluffy plumes. We incorporated broad, dramatic leaves with various palms and philodendron selloums. This tropical touch transports you to a coastal paradise! Finally, the milkweed, vitex, and guara add a pop a color and attract pollinators! If you're hoping to achieve a similar look in your space, ensure you select plants with different shaped and textured leaves, differing blooms times, and various growth habits!
