Lambertville Garden & Patio
Historic materials and contemporary art brought together outdoors.
Coppola Brothers transformed the outdoor space of a home in Lambertville’s Historic District into a garden that brought together the owners’ appreciation for art, historic materials and distinctive planting.
The work included the restoration of a 350-year-old English wrought-iron gate and an antique arbor, a custom-designed contemporary water sculpture, and a classic knot garden with unusual, hardy plantings. A century-old porch was redesigned and reconfigured as part of the completed outdoor setting.
