Last month you saw a large deck we redid for this client.  He was ready to give the front of his house a facelift this season.

What do you think?

We regraded his front by building a chunky retaining wall.

We threw away a lot of junky and dead plants, then  relocated his Japanese maple, yellow conifers and 2 arborvitae to different spots in the landscape.  Our additions of plum yew, ferns and carex give the space a lofty and lighter look.
