Party in the Front..

Once again, there was an untapped front yard, the need for a space to gather, and a landscape overdue for some general freshening up. To solve this, I had A&R Landscaping install a concrete patio on a simple grid format, right outside of my Client's front door.

Then we neatened up the edge of the driveway with some wooden retainers, pruned a few years of neglect out of the beautiful Rhododendrons and Azaleas, and basically carved space and air back into this little suburban, back-40 gem of a cabin.

To finish the saying, "business in the back". The house sits behind the party, bordering the as-yet unusable backyard. A welcoming, sunny front patio welcomes visitors and sets the tone for the family home. Plus, being 90 degrees off the end of the road, there is no privacy to preserve, and the front has the longer range views. Wins! “Shady Cove” is now a few hundred per cent more desirable as a short term rental.

This project will continue as we give more haircuts to some overgrown shrubs to bring more light into the property, as well as give floral, long-range views into the mature Tulip Poplars forest. We might even throw in a few Blueberry bushes! Stay tuned for progress photos!
