GARDENS
Using a virtually flat site , Fields ingeniously created garden rooms that mimicked the topography naturally existing in Italy . There are three levels to the garden rooms , with the house and the pool the highest level . The Pennsylvania bluestone walkway under the allée of Natchez crepe myrtle is the mid-level , with limestone and grass steps down to the verdant lawn panels creating the lower level . Devising the different levels to the garden adds interest to the garden rooms , but is also reminiscent of the formal Italian gardens that many times have multiple grade changes .
