The Work, Up Close

Close angled aerial view of the Hockessin home's roofline and front entry: the multi-gable slate-style roof frames a brick paver entry courtyard below, where the curved paver driveway meets the front doors in a graphic geometric composition

Drone view straight down on the Hockessin driveway: the long asphalt drive flares into a circular paver loop at the house, the boxwood-planted oval centered inside the loop, with mature trees flanking the approach

Aerial three-quarter view of the Hockessin estate showing the brick paver entry path tucked between the home and the boxwood-planted oval centerpiece, with mounded boxwoods framing the side and a curved cobble border defining the bed edge

Top-down drone view of the boxwood-planted oval centerpiece at the heart of the Hockessin paver driveway: a perfect oval bed of mulch ringed by a brick paver border holds rows of round mounded boxwoods in a graphic geometric pattern

Top-down drone view of the entire Hockessin estate property: the long driveway sweeps in a curve from the side, narrows past the multi-gable brick home at the upper left, and opens into a circular paver loop with the boxwood-planted oval centerpiece, framed by mature woodland and a small entry walkway tucked alongside the home

Three-quarter angled view of the Hockessin estate front: the multi-gable brick home with arched windows centered behind the curved brick paver driveway loop, the boxwood-planted oval centerpiece with rows of mounded boxwoods, and the brick paver entry walkway leading to the front doors, framed by mature trees and rolling lawn

Eye-level view of the Hockessin home's front facade: the multi-gable brick estate with arched windows sits centered behind the curved paver driveway, with the boxwood-planted oval and front beds in the foreground and a flagstone path visible at the right

Long view up the Hockessin driveway from the road: a brick paver runner stretches between two brick gate columns with lantern caps, a smooth lawn extends on both sides, and the brick estate sits centered at the end of the approach

Cinematic portrait of the Hockessin home at sunset: the brick estate facade glows in late evening light beneath a dramatic orange-and-blue cloud-streaked sky, with the curved paver driveway sweeping in from the foreground

Low-angle ground-level view along the Hockessin driveway: the curved brick-edged asphalt drive sweeps across the foreground toward the brick estate, with dramatic blue-and-white cumulus clouds filling the sky overhead

Portrait detail of the Hockessin paver walkway curving past the boxwood front beds: a sun-lit brick paver path with curved cobble edging leads toward the entry courtyard, with the brick facade visible in the background

Detail of the Hockessin entry walkway: a curved brick paver path runs alongside a mulched bed of mounded boxwoods, edged by a rough fieldstone cobble curb, with a brick step landing visible at the top of the frame

Detail view of the Hockessin entry walkway: a curved cobble edge defines the boundary between the brick paver path and a mulched bed of mounded boxwoods, with the brick step landing visible at the top of the frame

Ground-level view of the Hockessin front entry detail: a brick paver step landing in the foreground, an arched front door with sidelights, a small river-rock drainage strip at the foundation, and mounded boxwoods in the bed alongside

Low-angle view of the Hockessin entry courtyard: a small brass path lamp anchors the foreground, the brick paver courtyard sweeps to the arched front door beyond, with a mulched bed of small shrubs and a stone-edged border framing the right

Ground-level shot of the Hockessin side garden: irregular flagstone steppers thread through a mulched bed in the foreground, with mounded boxwoods and small shrubs receding into a river-rock drainage strip and the home wall on the left

Detail view of a Hockessin planting bed edge: a low stacked-stone wall in dark gray fieldstone separates a mulched bed of mounded boxwoods from the asphalt drive, with a brick paver runner curving past at the right edge

Aerial side view of the Hockessin home: a curved flagstone walkway with brick paver edging threads past the HVAC equipment area, with a river-rock drainage strip running along the foundation and mounded boxwoods softening the utility zone

Low-angle ground view of the Hockessin side path: irregular flagstone steppers set into a pebble drainage strip lead toward a mulched curve of mounded boxwoods, with the lawn and dogwoods blurred in the background

Wide ground-level view of the Hockessin side path: irregular flagstone steppers cross a river-rock drainage strip leading away from a brick step landing, with mounded boxwoods, a dogwood in bloom, and a woodland edge framing the approach beyond

Side-yard view of the Hockessin flagstone path leading toward the woodland edge: irregular flagstones set into a mulched bed are bordered by a low brick edge, with mature trees forming a green backdrop and a clear blue sky overhead

Dramatic portrait of the Hockessin stone slab steps: massive irregular bluestone slabs ascend in a curving sequence between rough boulders, with a mulched bed and a single mounded boxwood at the upper landing and dogwoods in bloom in the background

Portrait detail of a Hockessin boulder retaining wall: large rough fieldstone boulders are dry-stacked against a brick exterior wall, with a single mounded boxwood at the top of the wall and a small mulched bed running alongside the bluestone path at the base

Wide ground-level view of the back of the Hockessin estate: the tall brick facade with chimney rises across the frame, a small back patio with a pair of chaise lounges sits below the walkout level, and a smooth green lawn extends to the woodland edge at the right

Drone view straight down on the back of the Hockessin estate: the multi-gable roof plan is visible at the bottom, a circular paver patio with chaise seating sits at the top of the frame, and the curved driveway sweeps in from the right

Aerial of the Hockessin back patio: a small gray paver patio with two chaise lounges sits tucked against the brick home's exterior corner, edged by a brick band and a flagstone walkway with rough boulder borders

Eye-level view of the Hockessin back patio: a pair of dark wood chaise lounges with cream cushions sit on a curved gray paver patio with a brick band edge, with a dogwood in bloom and a tumbled stone retaining wall behind, and a smooth lawn beyond

Eye-level view of the Hockessin back patio: a tumbled gray paver patio with a brick band edge holds two dark wood chaise lounges against the brick exterior wall, with French doors at the back of the home and rough boulder borders defining the patio's curved edge

Wide view of the Hockessin round back patio: a circular gray paver pad with a brick band edge holds two dark wood chaise lounges, ringed by large rough boulders and a wire-cage gabion edge, with the home's tall brick wall on the right and a sloping lawn beyond
