Front Yard Sprucing

In 2014, our clients asked us to do a compete renovation on their backyard.  We installed a stone patio, hugelculture beds, mushroom beds, and did a general clean up of the yard.  This year, they asked to come back and do some sprucing in the front yard.  While the yard is small, they've done a lovely job creating more interest in the front with the recent painting of the house.  

To create more visual interest, we created a nice stone wall along both sides of the driveway.  We added some new edibles such as huckleberry, blueberry, lingonberries, and mulberries.  Not to mention artichokes, wild ginger, an Italian plum, lavender, echinacea, and more.  This layering of plants will be a nice touch of color, and will also tie in nicely with the new house color.  To finish, we added a new gate to the backyard and put in the trough for containing those wily herbs.  A fun little project, to be sure.
