BEFORE WORK:
This client wanted to expand beds and create "good bones" for a mixed perennial and annual garden.

This front yard had the challenge of ice ponding right at the entrance of the home from the downspout and alley run-off.


AFTER:
We helped the garage to "disappear' into the background by changing the siding to taupe and framing the
window with trellises and plants.


A raised bed provided lead free food planting for herbs and tomatoes. The Edenstone drywall provided definition and a sense of flow for bedlines.


The Rain Garden utilized on-site daylilies, ammended by carexes, and easily infiltrated water run-off from downspout.


A new paver entrance elevated the walkway and blocked alley water from puddling. The annual pots created a seasonal welcome.
