Lasting First Impression

The architecture of this home built into a woodland retreat and the beauty of the new landscaping create a lasting first impression. "I always like the yard to blend into the surrounding environment," says project manager Scott Branscom. "We tend to use local plants and flowers that fit the area, and here we also used pine straw for the ground cover."
