Muirfield Views

Custom Landscape for Muirfield Views Residence — Columbus, OH

For this project, the existing house on the property was removed to make way for a new home and landscape, resulting in a complete reconfiguration of the site. The clients wanted an impressive, classically inspired entrance that matched the detailed architecture of the residence, while the backyard was intentionally kept understated to highlight the perfectly manicured views of the Muirfield golf course.

Before

Project Goals

  • Create a formal, timeless front arrival experience that reflects the architectural style of the home.
  • Provide subtle, unobtrusive backyard spaces that preserve and frame golf course views.
  • Ensure full property circulation to accommodate frequent entertaining and high foot traffic, especially during the Memorial Tournament.
  • Integrate the home into a sloped site with retaining walls that feel cohesive and intentional.

The Results

The completed landscape delivers a timeless, refined aesthetic in the front and a serene, unobtrusive experience in the back—perfectly framing the Muirfield golf course. Thoughtful circulation planning supports the clients’ frequent hosting needs, while high-quality materials and mortared installation ensure the property will retain its classic character for decades.

Our Approach

GreenScapes brought the design to life with attention to detail and materials that support a classic, enduring aesthetic:

  • Site Regrading & Retaining Walls: Installed large retaining walls to integrate the home into the sloped terrain while creating functional circulation routes around the property.

  • Front Arrival Experience: Used clay brick for the driveway and full-color bluestone for the auto court, establishing an elegant, traditional entry that complements the home’s architecture.

  • Patios & Walkways: Installed full-color bluestone for patios and walkways with a matching brick border. All hardscape elements were mortared for long-term durability and a polished finish.

  • Backyard Design: Kept the rear landscape understated to draw the eye toward the sweeping golf course views.

  • Planting Strategy: Used larger plant material at installation for immediate impact. The front plantings are formal and symmetrical, while the side plantings were designed to soften the scale of the home and the large retaining walls.
