No. 6 Front Yards & Driveways · Mountain & Cabin
Gravel Driveway Framed by Tree Allée
Flanked by weathered steel edging, a gravel driveway forms an allée of native aspen and pine trees leading toward a timber and stone house during an overcast day.
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
