Belknap Landscape of Gilford, New Hampshire, is well-known for its creative, quality, hand-built outdoor living spaces. This example in Alton is no exception.

Featuring a sunken fire pit as a point of interest and primary feature, this landscape is a great place to entertain, relax and enjoy the Winnipesaukee views through three seasons. The designer and property owners selected natural materials for their durability and beauty. Careful consideration was given to assure uninterrupted views and offer an uncommon take on a common outdoor feature. The landscape offers a function the property owners enjoy using with a form they enjoy viewing.

Low-voltage lighting was utilized to assure the outdoor space is safe and usable during the evening. The inclusion of downlighting and spotlights provides visual interest at night while reducing light pollution.

Pathways from the main house to the fire pit, dock and waterfront were realized by using stepping stones and granite steps, keeping with the theme of using natural materials. Their placement lends a rustic appearance while also providing significant permeable surfaces to reduce runoff and protect the lake water quality.

As a three-time winner of the Excellence in Outdoor Design award, Belknap Landscape is proud to continue offering design, construction and maintenance services to discerning clients in the greater Lakes Region area. “When I started this company in 1989, I wanted to offer great people a great experience, and the best outcomes possible,” says Hayden McLaughlin, owner of Belknap Landscape. “It’s honors like these that let me know we’re still following through on that sentiment today.”
