A Manteca Residence Before. As in the case of most new residences, there is no welcoming approach to the front entry. |
A new walkway bordered by brick planters is added |
The brick planters have been backfilled and planted |
The new walkway gives direct access to the front door and the planters and plant materials now add curb appeal. |
An overgrown Stockton residence hiding the architectural features of the home. |
The trees planted too close to the house were removed and a new walkway leading to the side yard was added. |
A planter was added next to the walkway and a cross fence and gate were built to add privacy to the side yard. |
This photo of the completed landscape demonstrates form and function and the young tree in the planter will lend balance to the whole design. |
Another Manteca residence before. |
This corner planter extends the stone work on the house. |
Both lower corners of the driveway were given small planter areas combining moss rock, cobble stone and plant materials. |
The addition of a mow curb, stone faced columns with wrought iron fence to define the property line and complimenting plant materials bring a whole new look to this front yard. |
This is another Manteca residence with no easy path to the front door. |
A new front walkway was added with lights in the steps for night time safety. A more direct approach from the street. |
The circular wall encloses the front entry courtyard and mimics the turret at the front door. |
The architectural elements of the house have been brought toward the street. The wall on the right hides a walkway to the gate on the side to the back yard. |
A Ripon, CA residence, recently renovated inside but now lacks curb appeal on the outside. Some construction work had begun before the landscape design was begun. |
A view from the driveway to the entry walk. The planter to the right now has a dwarf Japanese maple, Japanese forest grass and some Rhododendrons to add color. |
Looking from the front entry walk to the side a number of the original plantings were retained with the exception of some flowering shrubs not yet in bloom. |
Removing the hedges on the sides of the front entry and adding moss rock and cobble softened by more colorful plant materials has given this home much needed exterior appeal. |
