Western Branch

Alex Kincaid

4927 Oriole Drive

This Western Branch home was built 18 years ago and while the entire family Kincaid takes pride in the property, 15 year old Alex Kincaid is the driving force behind the landscape design choices and care.  Alex takes great pride in his immaculately mowed stripes which form neat grids and waves in the yard.  The sod lawn is beautifully maintained using minimal fertilizer and water, and the family has incorporated a mix of perennials and annuals for continuous summer color.  The backyard is a peaceful retreat with a garden, and seating area interspersed with vintage truck and car themed details.  The tailgate of a classic Ford truck actually forms the back of a garden bench! Plant choices and repurposed items also add a layer of significance, as some pay respect to relatives, and others were chosen by foreign exchange students to be a lasting representation of their home country and their stay with the Kincaid family in Chesapeake.
