Tackling the Necessities

These are functional items we have to have but sometimes don’t know how to fit them artistically in the landscape.  These include:

  • animal deterrents,
  • hiding recycling bins and garbage can holders,
  • drainage solutions,
  • easy walking through tricky areas in the yard,
  • and driveway parking areas for your cars.

Deer Netting

Deer eat flowers. We find that netting works the best for keeping blooms on the plants… teasing deer palates throughout the land!

Hiding AC Units and Screening the Garbage Cans

Wooden fences are a clean and low maintenance way to hide AC units and garbage cans. They allow air to pass through and maximize the AC units’ operating capabilities. Christie’s does this work on site in accordance with the plan.

Drainage

All 3 pictures below are drainage solutions. The dry creek bed can be a garden accent and effective means to direct water where you want it. The open drain allows water to flow off a terrace or driveway and be carried away from houses. The 3rd picture shows underground PVS to carry water where you want it.

Class up your Driveway

If you have a gravel driveway that you want to make a bit more classy and useful, try edging it with a 4′ wide section of pavers.

A cable carefully attached to the house for taller vines like wisteria.
