The Bluffs, a Garden Retreat

Coastal Carolina

Bronze NALP Award of Excellence

TYPE OF PROJECT:

Residential Design/Build (Under $25,000)

PROJECT SCOPE:

Front entry & rear garden renovation, layered landscape beds, river birches, native Muhly grasses, decorative stone accents

ABOUT THIS PROJECT:

A Bronze Award–winning garden retreat that reimagined both the front entry and rear garden into cohesive, beautifully layered outdoor spaces. What began as bare, undeveloped beds became a composed landscape with clean, defined lines — river birches bordering the property edges, native pink and white Muhly grasses, and decorative stone accents throughout. Front-entry plantings were selected to work with the location's sun-and-shade pattern, while symmetrical arrangements enhance curb appeal and visual balance. Designed by Tim McAuliffe, The Outdoor Living Designer — a Bronze NALP Award of Excellence winner.
