Updating a Narrow Front Yard

Landscape Solutions : Episode LSL-413 -- More Projects »
A cluster-community home with a run-of-the-mill front yard cries out for some character. We create raised berms and a decorative brick wall that de-emphasizes the steep driveway, then plant a unique mix of small trees, perennials and annuals that give depth, interest and a new sense of invitation to the landscape.
