GARDENS La Dolce Vita Using a virtually flat site, Fields ingeniously created garden rooms that mimicked the topography naturally existing in Italy. There are three levels to the garden rooms, with the house and the pool the highest level. The Pennsylvania bluestone walkway under the allée of Natchez crepe myrtle is the mid-level, with limestone and grass steps down to the verdant lawn panels creating the lower level. Devising the different levels to the garden adds interest to the garden rooms, but is also reminiscent of the formal Italian gardens that many times have multiple grade changes.
