Jean Easton’s yard in the Brookstone section of Chateau Elan is a stunning example of how landscaping can transform an outdoor space into a peaceful retreat. Having lived in Brookstone for two years and the Woodlands for ten years prior, Jean has created a beautiful and functional yard that complements the natural surroundings even throughout the winter months.

The front yard offers a lovely view of the Brookstone green space, while the backyard is framed by the serene sight of hardwoods in the distance. These views provide the perfect backdrop for Jean’s favorite feature: the sparkling pool in the backyard. This inviting space is ideal for relaxing and entertaining, making it a centerpiece of her home.

Jean has worked with Heidi from Lady Landscape to bring her vision to life. After doing some initial landscaping when she moved in, Jean hired Heidi to rearrange plants, add vibrant flowers, and plant stunning magnolia trees. The result is a cohesive and elegant design that enhances the natural beauty of the yard.

In addition to landscaping, Heidi’s team tackled important functional upgrades, including addressing drainage and irrigation issues. They also installed two stone walkways on either side of the house, providing convenient access to the backyard and added outdoor lighting. Jean also credits Heidi for creating gorgeous outdoor planters that add pops of color and charm to the space just in time for the 2024 Chateau Elan Christmas Tour of Homes.

Jean’s yard is a wonderful example of how even small changes, with a bit of professional guidance, can transform an outdoor space into something truly special. Whether it’s the tranquil views, inviting pool, or vibrant planters, her yard offers inspiration for neighbors looking to enhance their own outdoor retreats.
