No. 13 Front Yards & Driveways · Mountain & Cabin
Gravel Courtyard with Circular Stone Fountain
Beyond an open timber gate, a gravel courtyard features a circular stone fountain, ornamental grasses, and olive trees leading toward the heavy timber front entry under afternoon light.
Design notes
Mountain and cabin design lets the landscape lead. Look for heavy timber and log, stacked stone and boulders, steel and dark stains that recede against the trees, and decks and terraces that reach toward the view. Fire is central — a stone fireplace, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs — and hot tubs earn their place. Planting is pines, aspens, grasses and wildflowers; paving is flagstone and gravel that can take the snow.
What to look for
- The sequence from where the car stops to the front door
- Walkway width and the landing at the door
- Planting kept below the windows with a tree for scale
