Water running down this steeply sloping grass yard was causing significant problems with erosion.
We created level areas with retaining walls, plant beds and gravel areas to slow the water movement and allow it to infiltrate the ground.
The result produced a private gravel patio surrounded by a cedar fence for relaxing and sitting by a fire.
A new front walkway with repurposed materials is now much more safe and comfortable.
Stepping stones and granite steps allow easy access around the site.
Bird and butterfly friendly plants suited to a hot and dry site
A low maintenance dog-friendly clover-fescue lawn
