While landscape architects and contractors have a gift for cultivating natural beauty and singular outdoor vistas, they also have a great sense of fun. With warm weather finally here, we take a look at some of the fantastic recreational features they’ve envisioned for private residences. Each is a quarantine dream to have in one’s own backyard.

This bocce ball court abuts a tennis court and outdoor living lounge area and is part of a landscape program conceived by Katherine Field and Associates (KFA) where homeowners gather for active fun and friendly competition. As the clients love a verdant but low-maintenance look, KFA used artificial turf to keep the court camera-ready and game-ready. 照明 within the stone frame softly illuminates for night play.

This bocce ball court was designed by Dan Gordon 景观建筑师 for an active family on Martha’s Vineyard. It was conceived to be part of a larger program of outdoor fun and in close proximity to the pool garden. Lined with bursts of hydrangea, the bocce court was sited within the grounds to maximize ocean views so glorious they might just distract one’s opponent.

A hard court designed for tennis lovers by 麦克道尔公司 sits at a lower elevation than the rest of the property’s rolling lawns and is offset by a stunning stone wall and plantings. When it’s not being used for a tennis match, it gets playing time as a basketball court. 广告.

Given that the landscape contracting and maintenance firm 景观设计 serves as the ultimate groundskeepers for golf clubs and courses, their field crews are aces at installing smaller-scale putting greens for residences. As shown by this bird’s-eye view of a coastal Rhode Island project, 景观设计 tucks a small putting green just beyond the pool, allowing their clients to perfect their game.
