GARDENS
In another section, hollies and Ligustrum
are used for screening on an existing
fence. Marcia’s team also camouflaged
it with a black/green paint making it
almost imperceptible in the landscape.
Marcia says, “I used a series of Gingko
trees and hollies, azaleas, and peonies
in front of the fence facing the house
and pool. We espaliered magnolias on
the fence panels facing the street with
Cassian grass underplanting the mag-
nolias the entire length of the fence.”
The result is modern yet timeless
with an unmistakable Virginian feel;
a homage to a city that shares the
same characteristics. n
