Size : Half acre town lot.
Problems: Flooding in their basement from a narrow side yard with a retaining wall had occurred for years. Outdated plantings around the house. No boundary planting by street.
Solutions: I created a curving, shade garden path that acts as a dry creek bed to channel water down to the front lawn, which successfully ending their flooding. It also was planted to add privacy from the road, color, and structure year-round. We also added a small garden at the front of the property to allow their children a safer play area in the front yard, while still allowing neighbors a view into the garden.
Date: Planted from 2005 to 2007
