Horticulture : Westhaven : New Homes : Available Homes : Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Tn

Westhaven is a masterplanned community, which means that its design, resident interaction, and overall function are identiﬁed in the interest of the neighborhoodʼs long-term growth and evolution. Westhaven is zoned for 2,600 homes. With that kind of density, the vision for the community was well orchestrated very early in the process so that sustainable design principals were effectively implemented.

Horticulture

: A personal touch: Westhaven courtyards often boast ornate designs that reﬂect personal taste and character

: Fountain Square was the ﬁrst open space in Westhaven to be completed. Its signature fountain, large trees, ﬂower beds and traditional design make it a perfect place for reﬂection and social activity

: Walls in Westhaven serve double duty: retention and aesthetic. Often times horticulture is incorporated to soften their look and bring a new dimension to the streetscape

: Common spaces in Westhaven are heavily planted, tying in the larger community through plants, shrubs and trees. But often times, homeowners catch the planting fever for their personal homes. The result is an abundance of plant life and color.

: Hanging pots expertly frame this front porch. Also note the hedgerow in the bottom of the picture. Hedges are a traditional streetscape application that bring deﬁnition between public and private space.

: Layered planting at the street level brings color and variety to this home.

: A median on Westhaven Boulevard at the entrance to the community.

: Preservation of existing horticulture was a very important part of the Westhaven masterplan. This stream and tree line on Pearl Street are good examples of incorporating the natural environment into an open space.

: Fountain Square from the backside.

: A park alongside a water feature on Westhaven Boulevard. Homes ﬂank both sides of the park.

: A pond water feature in close proximity to homes.

: Ponds have been developed all over the community, but in addition to the water feature, landscape architects bring in new plantings for retention, aesthetic and natural habitats for animals.

: A fantastic example of a courtyard fully developed and planted.

: Note all of the different features in this smaller courtyard; painted fence, vines and ﬂowering pots, a ﬂagstone patio and outdoor furniture, and natural decoration of the actual brick and breezeway.

: The fountain at dusk.

: Beautiful patio, outdoor ﬁreplace, dining area, a grill, and play set for children equal a great outdoor space -- day or night.

: Layers and different textures add new dimension to the sidewalk
