Lakeside Oasis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This month we’re thrilled to showcase a breathtaking backyard transformation that exemplifies our commitment to creating stunning outdoor living spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are featuring this project because it was headed up by our longtime, dedicated Design Consultant, Paul Dickinson, who is retiring this month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project comprises a comprehensive overhaul of a sloping lakeside property, turning it into a multi-tiered paradise. We installed robust boulder walls to create level surfaces, maximizing usable space and enhancing the yard’s functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centerpiece of this project is a mesmerizing multi-layered water feature that cascades down the yard, adding a soothing ambiance to the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For improved accessibility, we constructed an exposed aggregate concrete walkway and cart path, snaking from the back patio to a newly created patio by the dock. This thoughtful touch not only provides a visually appealing pathway but also ensures better traction for safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was rounded out with lush new landscaping, elegant hardscaping elements, and strategic lighting to accentuate the beauty of the space day and night. We also incorporated a dry creek bed for efficient drainage and installed an irrigation system to keep the new plantings thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project truly showcases Earthadelic’s ability to harmoniously blend form and function, creating an outdoor sanctuary that our clients can enjoy for years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A group from Earthadelic attended the inspiring 2024 Legacy Parks Luncheon at Holson River Farm on October 18th, celebrating the Legacy Parks Foundation’s efforts to enhance local parks and green spaces. As advocates for environmental stewardship, we connected with community members to share our commitment to improving East Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The keynote speech was by Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind person to summit Mount Everest. His journey as a blind adventurer inspired attendees with his message of a “No Barriers Mindset,” urging us to view adversity as a growth opportunity. His insights on teamwork and resilience reinforced our vision for sustainable, accessible green spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The luncheon also showcased projects like the Baker Creek Preserve, where Earthadelic has contributed its expertise. We discussed future initiatives aimed at enriching outdoor experiences, emphasizing our commitment to overcoming challenges and promoting outdoor recreation in collaboration with Legacy Parks and other partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
