A typical Cunningham landscape usually includes beautiful perennial combinations and well-defined paths;designs with a true sense of serenity and year-round interest.
Cunningham removed massive numbers of invasive plants from this property in order to carve out a series of garden spaces that fit within the site's woodland context. Well deserved gold design award for this one.
And another gold award for this residence in Newton, MA. How many designers do you know who have the nerve to implement a design without foundation plantings? So now, sunlight comes in the windows, and from outside, one can appreciate the classic facade of the 1916 home.
In the sloped backyard, Cunningham had to deal with erosion problems and a local grade-change ordinance that dictated the design.
Stone retaining walls and a modern mahogany deck pull the landscape together and provide plenty of platforms for entertaining, children, and pets.
