This property recently underwent a front yard renovation that improved irrigation, addressed a struggling lawn, and incorporated thoughtful plantings to enhance landscape quality and curb appeal.
Excavation and Lawn Replacement
The area was excavated, the irrigation system upgraded, and drip lines installed to ensure plants throughout the landscape remain well-watered. Consideration to green up the space was made with the site’s heavy shade conditions in mind.
Manhattan Slab Path and Basalt Boulder Feature
Manhattan natural-coloured concrete slabs were laid in a running bond pattern to form the main entry path, replacing a previously narrow strip of sidewalk. This classic layout introduces structure and flow to the property. A modest paver path from the roadway adds secondary access and complements the overall landscape, while a basalt boulder feature highlights the transition between hardscape and softscape zones.
Thoughtful Plantings and Night Lighting
Plantings include Taxus hedges, boxwoods, and ornamental grasses such as Hakonechloa macra, placed intentionally to complement the pathways and overall design. Landscape lighting was installed to emphasize focal points and enhance the evening atmosphere.
