Overview
This front yard renovation was designed by Bobbi in collaboration with the client to create a more functional and visually appealing landscape. The project included a two tiered Manorstone retaining wall to improve mower access along the steep grade near the house, repairs to existing downspouts and drainage around the foundation, and a Belgard Tandem Modular Wall to retain the raised planting bed and create a more level parking area. The project also included new planting beds, 1,500 square feet of sod, and a six zone irrigation system. To address significant runoff caused by nearby road construction, our team created a large dry creek bed to slow and redirect water from a 10 inch culvert into the existing 4 inch downspout line.
