Gardens An Urban Retreat jets and a spa tucked behind the sitting area on the pool terrace. The focal point of the pool area is a fountain wall that also serves to hide the pool equipment from sight and sound. The lion’s head fountain is a nod to the three boys with Leo as their astrological sign. The family spends many hours lounging and playing in the pool. With the dining area adjoining the pool, the design is efficient and functional for daily life and special occasions. The rear lawn serves as a mini lacrosse field for the boys. The lawn is edged with an ogee brick curb and the lawn panel is a perfect place for the boys to play and the family to entertain. The planting beds around the lawn are planted with boxwoods and other evergreens to give the garden The raised terrace and loggia is a perfect spot to view the garden with coffee on a quiet morning or in the afternoons when the garden is filled with friends who have come over to play.
