about this property

Duxbury, Massachusetts | This project started with a dreary pool and landscape, both in dire need of a rehab. The existing concrete pool coping and decking were updated with 4” thick, brush-hammered granite coping and bluestone decking, each accenting the hues of the nearby shoreline. A spa was added into the poolside creating a dramatic focal point. A built-in grill and outdoor bar near the main terrace allow everyone to be involved during a party. Shade-tolerant Green Giant Arborvitae were planted to provide seclusion from the adjacent properties.

A unique combination of a low stone wall with a fence topper, set downslope, solved one of the major design challenges presented by this project—to acquire an unencumbered view of the water from both the pool and the dining terrace, all while providing the necessary fencing to meet code. Meanwhile, reclaimed granite pillars lend substantial structure at the entrances to the pool.
