Nestled in the heart of Del Ray, Alexandria, a charming old bungalow on Terrett Avenue has recently undergone a remarkable transformation, thanks to the skilled team at Rosemont. The homeowners envisioned a backyard that not only enhanced their outdoor living space but also harmonized beautifully with the character of their historic home.

The centerpiece of this renovation is a newly constructed back porch, complete with a stylish roof system, a ceiling fan for those warm summer evenings, and elegant exterior lighting that casts a warm glow at night. The addition of iron railings adds a touch of sophistication while ensuring safety and style.

Surrounding the property, a modern cedar fence provides both privacy and a contemporary aesthetic, perfectly complementing the bungalow's classic architecture. To address drainage concerns, Rosemont implemented effective solutions that not only protect the home but also enhance the overall landscape.

The planting design features a variety of native plants that thrive in Virginia's climate, creating a lush and inviting atmosphere. A custom garden arbor and trellis serve as stunning focal point, inviting climbing vines and adding vertical interest to the space.

To further enhance the garden's charm, several rain gardens and dry riverbeds were incorporated, not only providing a naturalistic element that ties the entire design together, but also functional and environmentally friendly. The entire project created a serene ambiance, making this backyard a true oasis.

The homeowners couldn't be happier with the results. Their vision has come to life, creating a seamless blend of modern functionality and timeless character. This backyard transformation not only elevates their outdoor experience but also celebrates the rich history of their beloved Del Ray bungalow.
