A North Broadmoor Garden: Back
In the back garden, Brooks Kolb cut into a grassy slope to build a curving wall fountain clad in stone
to match the house. The fountain terminates an axis formed by a black stone seating terrace which extends
out from the living room. Symmetrical accent plantings of Italian Cypress dramatize the space. A stone
path leads past plantings of Japanese Pieris to a fenced, private hot tub terrace adjoining the master bedroom.
Throughout the design, the Broadmoor community aesthetic of formal, clipped and well-pruned plantings is celebrated.
Composed of a tranquil pond with water lilies and a gurgling fountain, backed by a dense semi-circular Yew hedge, this formal English garden provides a pleasing vista from a prominent living room window. Entered from a crushed rock path bordered by low hedges of Japanese Holly, this water garden gives way to a more ample and less formal back garden marked by flowing lawns with mixed perennial and shrub borders. A terraced herb and vegetable garden constructed of wood timbers leads to an octagonal gazebo at the low end of the back garden.
