The Challenge

The homeowner wanted to transform the area surrounding their pool while creating a more polished, cohesive look throughout the entire Fairfield property. In addition to developing the backyard into a lush outdoor living space, they wanted to enhance the front of the home and improve its overall curb appeal.

Our Solution

Shannon Lawn & Landscaping completed a full poolscape and property-wide landscape transformation, combining extensive planting, lawn installation, grading and finishing details.

Poolscape & Backyard Transformation

The pool area was the centerpiece of the project. Our work included:

  • 4,200 sq. ft. of new sod
  • Fine grading and site preparation
  • 20 yards of topsoil
  • Starter fertilizer and lime for lawn establishment
  • Extensive poolside planting
  • Steel landscape edging
  • River rock and pea stone
  • Stepping stones and landscape fabric
  • Fresh mulch throughout the planting beds

The poolscape planting incorporated Little Lime Hydrangeas, Boxwoods, Double Knock Out and Drift Roses, a Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar, Cavatine Pieris, Gold Mound Spirea, ornamental grasses, Nepeta, Russian Sage and other accent plantings to bring color, texture and year-round interest to the backyard.

Front Yard & Curb Appeal

The transformation continued into the front of the property, where we:

  • Installed new front yard plantings to refresh and enhance the home's landscaping
  • Added Belgium block edging along the driveway for a more defined, finished appearance
  • Improved the overall layout and presentation of the landscape
  • Created a more cohesive look between the home, driveway, lawn and planting areas
  • Significantly boosted the property's overall curb appeal

Ongoing Property Care

Today, our team continues to care for the property with:

  • Full-service landscape maintenance
  • Lawn care and fertilization
  • Plant health care
  • Pruning and seasonal maintenance
  • Tick control
  • Ongoing landscape enhancements
