Informal Gardens
Front Yard Appeal

Phase I of this full-yard Master Plan focused on rethinking mature front yard plantings that had outgrown their welcome. Shade beds were reshaped and enlivened with brightly colored foliage and flowers to add visual impact from the street. A stepping stone border does double duty by providing a walk-able surface in a tight space between the bed and an existing Fir tree.
