You could say that maintaining my yard

is my second job. My husband and I live

in our back yard—we are there during the

spring, summer and fall. We’ve workedhard to renovate the pond, install pavers

and we’re constantly adding new plants

and flowers. Our job is never finished (or

should I say my job), but we love every

minute of it, especially the results!

That’s why the Outdoor Living Issue

is such a joy to put together each year. It

is amazing to see what our Miami Valley

neighbors are doing behind their homes.

This issue highlights four rustic cottage

gardens in St. Anne’s Hill, as well as anexquisite, contemporary-themed back yard

in Centerville. We also spoke to a few indus-

try professionals to find out what’s hot in

outdoor structures.

In addition to great outdoor living spac-

es, we’re returning indoors to take a look

back at the 2013 Designers’ Show House,

presented by the Dayton Philharmonic

Volunteer Association. This year’s show

took place at High Acres—The Rike Estate

in Oakwood. We’re thankful to the DPVA for allowing us unlimited access to the

18,000-square-foot home.

Now is the time to finally get outside and

get my hands dirty, take in a little fresh air

and vitamin D and we’ll see you in August

with our annual Kitchen and Bath Issue.

Happy Gardening,

Evelyn Yaus and the Housetrend s staff

welcome to our house…

Garden Party Housetrends highlights

a handful of cozy gardensin St. Anne’s Hill

By Jane Schreier Jones

Photos by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging

Special delights await the visitor to a cozy garden. Intimate, serene gather-

ing spaces tempt one to pause, smile, sit down and relax. ✦ Perhaps no

one creates enchanting small-scale back yards, also known as “cottage

gardens”, better than the residents of St. Anne’s Hill Historic District in

Dayton. Many of these homeowners have the challenge of working with

limited space; even grand homes in this neighborhood can have a small-ish back yard. Yet talented and dedicated gardeners transform ordinary

landscapes into quite lovely settings. ✦ Housetrends talked to the owners

of four gardens featured on the 2012 Garden Tour about their sometimes

quaint, sometimes whimsical and always appealing outdoor spaces.

S idner & Leonard When your house is on a corner lot, the first order

of business in designing a backyard retreat is to cre-

ate privacy. Soon after moving into their Federal style

home (circa 1869) in St. Anne’s Hill, homeowners Chris

Sidner and Alan Leonard fenced in their back yard. “But

we soften the look by planting inside and outside the

fence,” Chris says. “In the green seasons, because of the

shrub, hedges and vines, you really can’t see the fence.”

The tranquil outdoors, created mostly by Chris since,

as an educator, he has summers to tend to the garden,

offers places to lounge, to linger and enjoy the assem-

blage of greenery and colors. “When we moved in eight

years ago, the back yard was blank,” he recalls. “We

started creating seating areas such as a deck and pergola

and bringing in plants that we like.”

Chris says many choices were inspired by blooms

seen while traveling, such as the hydrangeas he liked

in Southern France. He has also included evergreens so

their outdoor space offers year ‘round appeal.

The man-made objects in the garden—benches, gates,

chairs and tables—offer a vintage look. “I don’t like buy-

ing new but rather seek out second-hand items,” Chris

says. “It gives a more authentic look to the garden.”

Edinger & Kurokawa Some of the best gardens are those which evolve over time. Such is the case at the

home of John Edinger and John Kurokawa. “When we moved in six years ago, the

back yard was a canvas and slowly I have created a garden to relax in, a place to enter-

tain friends,” says John Edinger.

He points out that an inviting back yard becomes an additional room, especially

important in a cottage-size house. To that end, he has created two separate seatingareas: a patio and under a pergola. “The yard doesn’t have mature trees so the pergola

was a way to create some shade in the yard,” he comments.

Their back yard has abundant container gardens, from hanging baskets of enthu-

siastic impatiens to pots of glorious geraniums. While container gardens are an

excellent way of bringing color up from the ground, John Edinger admits their main

reason is to protect items from the couple’s dogs. He adds that it also makes garden-

ing more simple—a definite goal.

The garden, full of character, gives the two homeowners a beautiful place to relax.

“I spend a lot of time on the road, so a nice outdoor space is very welcoming,” John

Edinger says with a sigh.continued >

Allison & Cooper It took quite a bit of trust for Matthew Allison, landscape architect and owner of Malachi

Landscaping, to turn a gardening project over to one of the tenants at a home he owns in St. Anne’s

Hill. “But Doug Cooper is a designer at Furst the Florist and knows his stuff,” Matthew says. “Plus

his indoor space looks like a magazine. When he offered to fix up the outdoor gardens for all three

apartments, I trusted him.”

When purchasing the home ten years ago, Matthew laid out hedge-defined gardens for the three

separate apartments, each with a door to the outside. “My layout was inspired by the small gardens

I saw in Savannah and Charleston,” he says.

But over the years, the area had become overgrown and in need of some tender loving care. Last

spring in preparation for the 2012 Garden Tour, Doug transformed the area with new plant life and

man-made garden accent pieces. The results are truly outstanding.

“I think in terms of an outdoor room,” Doug says, “and bring items to make for pleasing sur-

roundings. Because the area is almost all shade, I chose plants such as hostas, ferns, clematis and

impatiens.”

Matthew says he enjoys learning from other people. “And I learned a lot from Doug,” he adds.

Van Allen When Sue Van Allen bought her home (circa 1869) in St. Anne’s Hill in 2007, the yards

were “a total mess.” While the house was being remodeled, Sue got to work on the great

outdoors. Her back yards are the size of two-and-a-half-lots, so her transformation

involved first having a bulldozer level the land and redoing fencing.

But it was Sue’s creative eye that turned the space into a charming area, whether thishomeowner is relaxing with a cup of espresso or entertaining 80 people. “I want my gar-

den to be friendly, to say, ‘Hi, come and have a seat!’” she says.

To that end, Sue created cozy seating areas—such as a pair of Adirondack chairs loung-

ing in the grass, a brick patio area with two patio tables and chairs. Altogether, Sue’s back

yard has seating for 35, all divided into little gathering areas, giving a cottage garden feel.

Abundant color makes Sue’s gardens smashing. The colors of the yellow carriage house

with its red door are carried over into jaunty patio umbrellas and chair cushions. Sue uses

plants, mainly perennials, to sprinkle color all around her yard. “I regard each flower bed

as a room and think, ‘What do I want to see here?’ she says.

Creating privacy and shade in your back yard

By Hilary Daninhirsch

No matter the climate or area of the country where home is,

folks are gravitating toward outdoor living environments. But shar-

ing meals with friends while outdoors is less appealing when the

sun is beating down on the party. ✦Fortunately, there are shade

solutions available to keep you enjoying the outdoors longer, as

well as to create the privacy that you desire.

“There are some very inter-

esting ways to create privacy

within your back yard, includ-

ing creating small secluded

garden spaces by combining

shrubbery with easy to installpavers, shade pergolas to cre-

ate a private shaded space or

the creative use of benches

to section off an area for a

more intimate space. You can

essentially create an outdoor

room, small or large, to extend

the comforts of your indoor

spaces to the outdoors,” says

Paul Bizzarri, Vice President

of Innovation at TimberTech,based in Wilmington, Ohio.

“We get a lot of people

wanting shade these days

because the developments are

newer with less mature trees,”

adds Tim Stephens, owner of

Archadeck of West Central

and Southwest Ohio. “Shade

structure provides the feeling

of being undercover and yet

outdoors.”

Pergolas and gazebosOne very popular shading

option is a pergola, built either

freestanding or attached to

the home or even on top of a

deck or hardscape stone patio.

“Pergolas create the most

amount of shade,” says Lou

Maglio, president of Walpole

Outdoors, formerly knownas Walpole Woodworkers, in

Massachusetts. It can be done

naturally with plantings, cre-

ating an arbor, or with a con-

figuration of beams on the

top. He says adding an awning

component to the pergola is

popular, either manual or

motorized, which creates both

shade and protection from

inclement weather.

7/30/2019 HT HMV 2013-05-06


housetrends.com 39

Awnings can come in any size, though he says that 150-200

square feet is the most popular, and a sought-after fabric is

Sunbrella, a cloth material used extensively in outdoor settings,

as they are stain and weather resistant.

Stephens says that gazebos, while currently less trendy and

more expensive than pergolas, are still an attractive option for

those looking for shade. “The advantage of a gazebo, besides the

look, is that we can get that ‘room’ feel. It usually has a water-

proof roof, such as shingles, that will shed the water and snow.”Plus, gazebos can be screened in to guard against insects.

Besides the functionality of a gazebo, some folks build them

because of their aesthetic value.

Material optionsMaterial choices are a matter of both personal preference and

cost considerations. Some folks prefer the authentic look and feel

of wood for building their pergolas or gazebos. Redwood, cedar(like northern white cedar) or pressure-treated woods are popular

options, or really any wood that holds up well to the outdoors.

While wood is still a requested material for pergolas, alterna-

tives in wood have been growing rapidly in popularity. “This is

due to their low-maintenance, abundance of colors and natural

looks that strongly resemble the materials they replace,” explains

Mike Gori, director of product management for AZEK Building

Products. Gori also cites other advantages such as longevity,

durability, weather-resistance, great looks and easy installation.

Some low-maintenance composites include aluminum, fiber-

glass and vinyl, says Stephens. And of course, each type of mate-rial comes with its own set of pros and cons.

Stephens says that the dis-

advantage of wood is mainte-

nance. “UV light is the enemy to longevity. Plus it’s a labor

intensive, recurring mainte-

nance process and it’s all over

your head.” Industry experts

recommend resealing and pro-

tecting wood every 3-5 years.

Stephens adds that fiber-

glass is expensive and comes

unfinished, but on the ‘pro’

side, it does hold its finish lon-

ger than wood, and builderscan do some arches and other

interesting design features.

Aluminum is prone to denting

and there are limited colors

from which to choose. Vinyl

has proven to be an extremely

popular material, predomi-

nantly because of the low-

maintenance factor, but there

are limits to design (mostly

rectangles and squares) andcolors.

Walpole has partnered with

AZEK to produce Cellular

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), a

weather-resistant synthetic

wood material that in the past

had been used mainly for trim

on houses. “The product will

never rot, split or decay,” says

Maglio.

Walpole has also partneredwith Sherwin-Williams, who

manufactures a vinyl-safe

paint in an entire range of

colors.

Oakland Nursery, the Wal-

pole distributor for Ohio,

offers standard kits and sizes

for pergolas that the home-

owner can install himself,

complete with a good set of

instructions and all the neces-sary hardware.

7/30/2019 HT HMV 2013-05-06


housetrends.com 43

PVC costs about 30-40% more than wood, but customers

often make that trade-off to enjoy the perks of low-maintenance.

Nonetheless, wood alternatives are not necessarily as expensive

as perceived, explains Gori. “Composite and PVC materials may

cost a bit more up front but save on maintenance, repair and

replacement down the road. The payback for composites and cel-

lular PVC products can be realized in about three years.”

FencingTo gain that added measure of privacy, some homeowners are

choosing to install fences around their yards. As with pergolas

and gazebos, the most popular building materials come down to

wood or solid cellular vinyl and folks may be hard-pressed to tell

the difference.

“Wood is less expensive, so that keeps it fairly popular, but we

see the trend that people are making an investment to put in a

nicer fence, because landscaping is fairly permanent, so we want a

fence to be both permanent and maintenance-free,” says Maglio.

A wood fence would require restaining after about 6-7 years; he

recommends staying away from spruce or pine in a fence productas they decay much more quickly. Durable cedars and certain

types of mahoganies are desirable.

Maglio cautions that one of the first things to go with a wood-

en fence is the post buried in the ground. Walpole has created a

synthetic foundation for some of their fences, one that doesn’t

deteriorate, which, he says, is…”one way to get a good-looking

wooden fence without worrying about decay.” Otherwise, he

suggests re-tamping the post and repacking the soil around it

every 3-5 years.

“Having an outdoor room with a pergola, then coupling that

with fencing that can create a privacy area, is a popular trend thatallows people to enjoy outdoor living longer.”

garden Eco-friendly tips and ideas

for your landscape By Phyllis Gricus

landscape trends

Your garden may look green, but it can be harmful to the environment. And gardeners,

along with the products they use, can be some of the biggest offenders. Minimize the

negative impact your spot of Eden has on the world by employing sustainable garden-

ing methods. The following pages offer a few ideas to get you started.continued >

7/30/2019 HT HMV 2013-05-06


Bee friendlyThe wild pollinators, native bees—often

small, stingless, solitary and unglamor-

ous compared to honeybees—are also

in decline. The primary reasons for the

decline are the use of pesticides and devel-

opment where there used to be habitat.

Pesticides applied in agricultural set-tings are being done by trained profession-

als, while those applying pesticide at home

are often using far greater concentrations

than necessary; allowable concentrations

are often much higher for home use.

Why do we need pollinators? Almost all

of the world’s seed plants—plants that feed

us—need to be pollinated. Your garden can

attract native bee populations if you plant

native plants—they’re four times more

attractive to native bees than exotics.Choose plants that bloom throughout

the season to attract bees all year long.

Diversity is important, but it doesn’t mean

planting one of each species; small groups

of the same flowering plants work well.

The early spring blooms of redbud

(Cercis Canadensis) and rhododendrons

(Rhododendron spp.) provide the first

nectar of the year. Beebalm (Mondarda

fistulosa) and Butterflyweed (Asclepias

tuberosa) are summer favorites.

Goldenrod (Solidago speciosa) and New

England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-

angliae) offer blooms through October.

used in the vegetable garden. The Native

American’s Three Sisters garden, which

interplants corn, beans and squash, is a

well-known example. Very little scien-

tific research has been funded to prove

why such partnerships work; however, the

anecdotal evidence is hard to ignore.

Black GoldBlack gold is the invaluable product of com-

posting—the natural recycling of organic

waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. According to the Environmental Protection

Agency, Americans throw out more than

25% of the food we prepare and most of

that goes into landfills. And that food

waste, because of lack of oxygen in landfills,

produces the greenhouse gas methane.

If food waste were composted instead

of being sent to landfills, the resulting

reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

would be equivalent to taking more than

two million cars off the road.Compost, when added to the soil

improves soil health, aids in erosion

resistance and improves water retention.

It also works as a slow-acting fertilizer,

which lasts a long time in the soil. You

would be feeding the soil—for the benefit

of plants—with organic matter, reducing

your need for garden chemicals.

Mulching is another way to be sustain-

able in the garden. And compost is an

excellent mulch to use in garden beds

or top-dressing the lawn. In comparison

to wood mulch, compost mulch helps to

restore ecological processes to nutrient-

poor, degraded soils.

Everyone loves a good comeback story and, in its prime, High Acres—The Rike Estate, was the talk of

Oakwood. Completed in 1929 for Frederick Rike, President of the Rike-Kumler Department Store, the

18,000-square-foot Tudor sits on nearly 12 acres in the heart of the community. Frederick and his wife,

Ethel, raised their three children in the manor, which was known for its ten fireplaces and stunning gar-

dens. In 2009, Thomas McColgan purchased the home, with the intentions of restoring the house to its

former glory. This year, he generously allowed the Dayton Philharmonic Volunteer Association to trans-

form the house into the 2013 Designers’ Show House & Gardens. Over three-dozen Miami Valley-area

interior designers joined forces, utilizing their expertise and imaginations to create elegant spaces that

call to mind the Rike era thanks to rich colors, elaborate fabrics and opulent décor. The following pages

highlight just a few of our favorite spaces from this year’s show.

Remodeled outdoor

living space carries on home’s

contemporary theme

A natural progressionIn the interior of her home, Faye had already completed an ultra-contemporary bath,

opened a wall between the kitchen and living room and installed Bamboo flooring in her

fitness room. So it was time to work outdoors.

Faye and Sparks both knew starting from scratch in the back yard would be a dramatic

and perhaps daunting project, but they were still excited to take on the challenge.

OPENING SPREAD: The sleek black pergola leads from the back of the home to this inviting contemporary sitting area.TOP: Container gardens filled with colorfulBromeliad are strategically positioned around

the patio area. ABOVE: The fireplace sur-round is made of decorative concrete that

was poured into a mold.

Mostpeople want living spaces that are both functional and

aesthetically pleasing. But Faye Ledwick, a resident of Centerville, wants her

home to look like a piece of artwork. ✦Thanks, in part, to Collin Sparks,

owner of Jamestown-based Dig-It, she accomplished that goal when she

completed her outdoor living space.

7/30/2019 HT HMV 2013-05-06



continued >

Faye knew Sparks could achieve her

style and goals, and he knew she was the

type of person who could visualize exactly

what she wanted in her new outdoor liv-

ing space.The main decision was easy: nearly all

of it needed to be changed. “It was pretty

bad,” says Faye. “It had a big hot tub on

concrete, and the rest was just a grassy

area that wasn’t even pretty. I wanted the

entire yard to be completely usable.”

One redeeming quality, according to

Sparks, was that the yard already con-

tained natural privacy plantings to one

side and in the middle.

Sparks first reworked the initial infra-structure by running gas to the fireplace

and grill, as well as plumbing to the site.

He opted not to tear out all the con-

crete since it was in pretty good shape

and would have made a mess, especially

around the pool. Instead, Dig-It used a

thin layer of a sand blend under the pav-

ers. “That way, if the concrete moves from

a freeze-thaw, the sand will allow the pav-

ers to stay put,” says Sparks.

A streamlined designFrom a design point of view, Sparks con-

sidered the lines of the house’s existing

bay windows, and mirrored the outdoor

space’s lines to match.

The unique installation of the pavers

offers two different views, depending on

the angle. The surface is made up of

rectangular and square pieces, but if eyed

from a 45-degree angle, the shape appears

round. Sparks points out that small squarepavers are currently his top sellers.

In keeping with her ultra contempo-

rary style, Faye chose a unique pergola—

absent of traditional embellishments—

and had it painted black.

The pergola is basically T-shaped as it

also covers a walkway that leads directly

from the house to the main sitting area,

which is accented with cushioned seating

and a fireplace.

TOP: The outdoor kitchen sits adjacent to the pergola and carries on the contemporary theme.MIDDLE: The outdoor kitchen includes countertops comprised of decorative gray concrete.BOTTOM: The homeowner chose to keep the original concrete patio around the pool.

The seating area sits up on a raised deck comprised of Brazilian hardwood. Sparks says the dense, non-

porous wood will maintain its rich, dark color with a once-yearly pressure wash and coat of oil.

Faye also chose a two-tiered fireplace with the same straight, clean lines as the pergola and much of

her existing décor. The gray surface has

a marble appearance and is situated sofamily and friends have a view of the

plantings just beyond.

Even though it looks like slate-col-

ored marble, Sparks points out that

the fireplace is actually decorative con-

crete, similar to stamped concrete, but

a different mix, which is poured into

a mold that frames the shape. From

there, a variety of colors and textures

are achieved.

Faye can also use a remote controlto start the fireplace from inside her

home, which is something she often

does.

Joys of the outdoorsThe main design leads seamlessly to a

lounging area and full outdoor kitchen,

which also includes its own counter

seating. Faye is a vegetarian so she

made sure to have plenty of space to

prepare and grill vegetables. Her son-in-law is an amateur chef, so he needed

a kitchen to suit his talent. In order to

tie the spaces together, the countertops

match the nearby fireplace.

Faye also admits that she doesn’t

have a green thumb or experience with

plant design, but her friends do, so they

surprised her on her birthday last June by completing her landscape by adding colorful flowers and con-

tainer gardens. “Carol, Carla and Glinda did such a wonderful job and worked so hard to help me achieve

my goal,” Faye says.

She also loves that the space is usable for the majority of the year. Last Thanksgiving, she and her guestsrelaxed outside after dinner. Even when it’s cold outside and the snow is coming down, she can turn on

the fireplace and enjoy the view. “I absolutely love it.”
