Pam’s Garden at Frontier Behavioral Health
Pam’s Garden at Frontier Behavioral Health was created as a welcoming outdoor space intended to support therapeutic recovery, connection, and time outside. Copper Creek has worked with Frontier on multiple outdoor spaces across their locations, and this Hillyard project continues that relationship with a garden designed to provide places to walk, gather, sit, and experience the landscape.
Curving paths move through lawn, flowering planting, raised garden beds, stone, and gathering areas rather than organizing the site around one large central space. A freestanding covered pavilion and pergola provide additional destinations within the garden, while seating and open areas give the landscape a variety of uses.
A bubbler water feature, basalt boulders, decomposed granite, stamped and stained concrete, custom metal garden beds, and layered planting add texture throughout the property. Black-eyed Susan, hydrangea, Karl Foerster grass, and other plant material bring seasonal color and soften the surrounding hardscape.

A Garden Designed for Recovery & Connection
Pam’s Garden was developed around the idea that an outdoor space can offer different experiences within the same landscape. Curving paths connect planting, lawn, raised beds, covered gathering spaces, water, and seating so visitors can move through the garden or spend time in a quieter area.
Stamped and stained concrete, decomposed granite, basalt boulders, and 1 1/4-inch basalt chip create durable circulation while giving the garden a natural material palette. Poured-concrete retaining and courtyard walls help define spaces without making the garden feel overly formal.
A freestanding covered pavilion and pergola create sheltered destinations, while custom metal raised beds bring gardening directly into the landscape. The bubbler water feature adds subtle movement and sound, and flowering planting provides color throughout the growing season.
Project Story
Pam’s Garden represents an ongoing relationship between Copper Creek and Frontier Behavioral Health. Copper Creek has worked with Frontier on multiple outdoor spaces, and this Hillyard project was developed around a shared goal of creating a safe, welcoming landscape for people using the property.
Rather than creating one large formal courtyard, the garden is organized as a collection of smaller spaces connected by flowing paths. That layout creates opportunities to walk through the garden, sit among planting, gather beneath a covered structure, or spend time near the water feature.
Stamped and stained gray concrete, decomposed granite, basalt stone, poured-concrete walls, traditional lawn, and layered planting establish the underlying structure of the garden. A freestanding covered pavilion and pergola add architectural elements without dominating the landscape.
Custom metal raised beds add another interactive garden element, while a bubbler water feature introduces movement and sound. Aluminum fencing and an entry gate help define the property and its circulation while maintaining visibility into the landscape.
Black-eyed Susan, hydrangea, Karl Foerster grass, lawn, and other planting bring softness and seasonal interest throughout the space. The completed garden feels intentionally varied, with each path and gathering area contributing to the larger outdoor environment.
Pam’s Garden Design & Materials
Pam’s Garden combines durable landscape materials with a softer planting palette appropriate for an active community outdoor space. Stamped and stained gray concrete, decomposed granite, basalt boulders, 1 1/4-inch basalt chip, traditional lawn, and concrete edging create structure throughout the property.
Poured-concrete retaining and courtyard walls with masonry detailing help define the garden's different spaces. A freestanding covered structure and pergola use smooth-cut wood, a prefabricated truss system, a hip roof, and integrated soffit lighting.
A bubbler water feature, custom metal raised beds, aluminum fencing and entry gate, and layered planting complete the garden. Black-eyed Susan, hydrangea, and Karl Foerster grass provide some of the project's most recognizable planting and seasonal color.
