To kick off this special section, Pine Hall
Brick was kind enough to provide us with
an in-depth before, during and after look
at one of the award-winning projects. The
photo essay that follows highlights the win-
ner in the Clay Brick - Residential cate-
gory.

Contractor: Haywood Landscapes, Inc.
Main Product Manufacturer: Pine Hall

Project Description: With the initial
design criteria of providing an area to grow
vegetables each year, this "vegetable gar-
den" developed into a backyard room. The
design takes advantage of the sun exposure
while creating an area for gardening and
entertainment that complements the archi-
tectural style of the 26-year old home. The
project began with developing a plan to
satisfy the owner's desire for gardening,
great views, sun and wind orientation, and
existing grades; and then it blossomed from
there. Although not originally planned, the
existing delapidated patio and retaining
wall were completely demolished, re-
designed, and built to satisfy the new design
criteria.
Features of the 2,600-square-foot instal-
lation include a multi-level gardening area
where vegetables can be accessed from
above or below each terrace. A mix of or-
namentals provide year-round color and at-
traction. The symmetrical clay hardscape
design, which features Pine Hall Brick's
Pathway Full Range Brick pavers, is ac-
cented with night backlighting to highlight
retaining walls and paving patterns for a vi-
sually engaging effect.
