General
For this hillside location on Oakridge Avenue, Lois W. Poinier designed a multi-level terrace. One level provided a patio for outdoor living and incorporated one of Poinier's signature fountains, in this case a wall fountain featuring two squirrels as a decorative element. The second, lower, level was a lawn edged by garden borders. Existing stone walls were retained if possible, although a tree was removed to make way for steps leading to the upper terrace flanked by a stuccoed wall to match the house. Azaleas, dogwoods, and spring flowering bulbs provided colorful accents in spring. Before and after images are included.
Persons associated with the garden include: Lois W. Poinier (garden designer) and Charles Edgar Graham Reeves and Joan Mallory Reeves (former owners).
