Driveway Design Overhaul
The prime objective at Pinkham Ridge in the White Mountains of New Hampshire involved the creation of a more functional driveway and walkway design with supportive plantings.
The east-side existing entry made for a less than optimal turning radius and the lack of overflow parking opportunity highlighted the design challenges. In addition, the approaching grade needed to be lessened in order to make maneuvering vehicles during the heavy winter snows less stressful.
In the later phases of the project, a fire pit was added and a hardy, road-side native planting arrangement was achieved. With the immense amount of hardscape presenting itself, Pinkham Ridge maintains the integrity of the surrounding woodland setting.
New plantings adorn the driveway terrace: Montgomery Spruce, Ninebark, Chokeberry, Balsam and others.
