Located on a scenic rural property, the McGregor Farm Road project was all about scale, precision, and practicality. The client needed more than just curb appeal—they required a full-scale, modern rural landscape solution that included driveway regrading, drainage correction, and the aesthetic unification of multiple structures. North Coral Landscaping delivered a design that seamlessly merged natural beauty with functional upgrades, transforming the property into a cohesive and elegant estate-style space.
Key Features
- Crushed Granite Driveway: A sprawling, curved driveway was constructed using finely crushed black granite, offering durability, low maintenance, and a striking modern finish.
- Integrated French Drain System: Custom-installed trench drains and French drains were implemented to redirect surface water, ensuring long-term foundation protection and site stability.
- Expanded Parking & Entry Zones: Wide, flat areas around both garages and the greenhouse create functional transition zones, making navigation smooth and clean year-round.
- Defined Garden Borders & Lawn Zones: Crisp edging was added along walkways and flower beds to maintain a clean and organized landscape layout.
The landscape design plan for this large-scale project emphasized efficiency and elegance. The drafted blueprints included a custom-curved driveway design, precise French drain placement, and gravel surfacing areas—all laid out to ensure smooth vehicular access while solving previous drainage issues. Additional annotations included slope direction, trenching details, and material specifications for optimal execution.

Building the Vision
- Site Evaluation & Grading: North Coral’s team first analyzed water flow patterns and soil conditions to determine the right grade and trenching needed. Heavy equipment was brought in to level out the large property and prepare it for construction.
- Drainage & Excavation: French drains and trench systems were dug along strategic lines around the house, driveway, and garden areas. These were filled with clean rock and topped with matching gravel to blend in with the finished driveway surface.
- Granite Driveway Installation: Crushed black granite was layered and compacted across over 4,700 square feet of driveway and parking areas. Curved edging and a widened entry point added visual sophistication to the long, winding entrance.
- Final Touches & Integration: The team worked around existing plantings and structures, adding smooth transitions, edging, and mulching where necessary to enhance the property’s natural landscape without disturbing the mature greenery.
The McGregor Farm Road project is a showcase of what high-end rural landscaping can look like when function meets finesse. With expertly engineered drainage, modern surfacing, and thoughtful layout, this expansive property now boasts both beauty and usability for years to come.
