Landscape Makeovers, a Block at a Time

Before: A few of the many problems of this property: a weedy and unusable front yard, mismatched gray paint and cockroaches in the retaining wall.

After: New terraces increase the usability of the yard and create more space at the top. The closed front gable on the house was replaced with an open starburst.

Before: The house across the street is perfectly ok — in a bland sort of way.

After: For this neighbor, landscaping starts with window boxes and fresh paint for the front door. The driveway is painted gray to match the porch floor and steps.
