The Philbin Group coordinated with RMC Architects on the design of the landscape for a new residence in the Samish Highlands. A steep slope in the front of the house was stabilized with on-site sandstone, and hillside massed plantings of shrubs, perennials, and grasses are laid out in wide swaths of color. The home entry is accented with freestanding architectural walls. Care was taken to insure that the landscape blended into the natural backdrop.
