The homeowners asked us to enhance the driveup appeal of their home by adding color and interest. They felt the existing landscape provided by the builder did not match the caliber of the structure.

A few of the design challenges included a drainage issue on the north side of the property, screening of a neighbors garage, saving and utilizing existing plant material, and homeowners that had little time for or knowledge of landscape maintenance.

Our solution included low growing flowering shrubs, blooming perennials that return year after year, and evergreen shrubs with colorful foliage and appealing textures. The spacing and placement of the plant material allows the mature shrub to be the design size, so very little pruning will be required. A mortared stone border seperates the landscape from the lawn and prevents grass from entering the beds.
