New Construction Michiana, Indiana by Planned Environment Associates Deep in Michiana, Indiana and nestled amongst the natural beauty of the area, Planned Environment Associates' 'New Construction Michiana' exemplifies the relationship between natural and designed spaces. The spacious residential site overlooking spectacular views of the lake, necessitated a high-end renovation to the landscaping to correspond not just to the modern structures but the beauty of the nature itself. The included a wide range of assets, considering the landscaping as thoughtful and intentional. Native plant materials not only create habitat and foster local biodiversity, but also consider sustainable environmental practices. Drought-tolerant perennial plants and ornamental grasses were used throughout the so that year-round interest could be accommodated with minimal irrigation. Terraces and pathways were formed with natural stone sourced from local quarries. Not only did this ensure a permanent material on the edge of a lake, it did so while seamlessly integrating into the spirit of the topography with all applied rustic charm. The most critical horizontal issue during the was site grades and drainage. The site sloped (hard) in the plan east to west and required some innovative grading to prevent water and erosion, from all directions, from accumulating and eroding for safety and aesthetic reasons. To address potential drainage, we took advantage of the sloping terrain with a tiered garden that employed retaining wall boulders sourced locally. This resolved the water issue but also created interesting focal points in the landscape. The final product is an incredible outdoor space for leisure or entertaining. A custom-designed patio space with a fire pit and comfortable seating extended the living space and is well suited for entertaining outside. The perennial borders that surround the property create a colorful tapestry throughout the seasons. And trees were also added for shade and privacy.
