This project was completed in collaboration with Cloud Landscape Design and Beautiful Earth Landscapes

AFTER: An elegant arbor invites family and friends into a magical native plant garden.

The result is outstanding, you would NOT believe that garden hasn’t been there for years. The work was finished in a timely manner, and John has been painstaking in his communication, and obviously loves what he does. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

The Challenge

The family hoped to create an elegant backyard garden and seating area, but they weren’t sure how to start.

The existing hardscaping and gardens didn’t feel inviting, and they lacked clean lines and cohesion. This meant the backyard mostly sat unused.

BEFORE & AFTER: The backyard garden and seating area has been completely overhauled. Now, a crushed stone patio and elegant seating invites time spent among native plants.

The Transformation

We managed and installed this redo of the backyard. The backyard garden and seating area has been completely overhauled.

A crushed stone patio framed by a stone wall invites connections with loved ones and nature.

AFTER: An elegant seating framed by native plants invites time spent in nature.

The native plant landscaping softens the edges of the driveway and creates pollinator habitat. The low-maintenance plant palette ensures that most of the family’s outdoor time can be devoted to relaxation.

The Takeaway

Any part of a yard or landscape can be transformed into something beautiful. A small, unused space beside the driveway has become an elegant, inviting outdoor living space that facilitates connections with nature.
