| A Typical 1960's Plano Home Renovation |
Here is a very typical late 60's early 70's Plano Home...wide, single story, wing walls, and the dreaded narrow planter boxes. Working with the homeowners, Dan Garrison designed a solution that would eliminate the planter boxes, and add a more natural look to the home. The challenges in this project included renovating the irrigation system and selecting plants that would be low maintenance and would thrive in the shade produced by 4 mature live oak trees.

The planter boxes along the front of the home were popular in the late 1960's when this home was built. |  |
| The East exposure along with mature trees will shade portions of this home nearly all day. | ||

The planter boxes were removed and the bricks were cleaned. |  |
| The irrigation system was renovated to accomodate the new landscape beds. | ||
