Here is another simple project. The front
planting bed was sloped, making it difficult
to maintain and boring. There was just one
path to the front door. The owners wanted
to create an inviting entrance.

Here we created stairs between two levels. This makes it easier
to maintain the planted areas, offers textural interest and
welcomes visitors to their home.

This pink house needed a face lift. The owner had the place painted a more interesting tan with brown and green trim then,the lawn
area was cut into less that a third of its former area, food production areas were added and drought tolerant bird and butterfly
attracting plants were added! These pictures were taken on planting day, it is even better now that the plantings are filling in.
