After years of returning to the flat plains of the Midwest from their travels throughout the Rocky Mountains, the owners of this residence charged Kane Brothers with the design and construction of their dream landscape, bringing the Western Ranges to their home.

More than 150 species of plants and trees mutually-native to the Rocky Mountain and Midwest regions were added to establish credibility and biodiversity. A 130-foot stream winds its way through paths, plants, and waterfalls, eventually encircling a 2,000 square foot, multi-tiered patio space constructed of massive slabs of naturally cleft stone.  The large bluestone patio and boulder retaining walls complement the architecture of the home while creating a natural transition from its interior into the landscape.

An extensive lighting system provides a dramatic setting against the tapestry of the gardens offering intimate entertaining spaces and striking focal points. Other amenities in this Kane Brothers Environment include a tennis/sports court, putting green, walking paths, and a fire pit fashioned within a boulder wall for an inviting space perfect for an evening glass of wine or s’mores.
