Objective: Create a welcoming entry for dated building with worn landscape.
Challenges: Multiple units requiring visability for security and views, narrow garden space bordering parking lot.
Worn landscapes can give a blighted look to older buildings. These owners decided to invest in their homes by replacing their small lawn at the entrance to their condos and a motley collection of shrubs and perennials with an inviting flagstone patio. An existing Magnolia tree was salvaged and a border of varied shade-loving perennials were selected to surround the patio with lush textures. Resident participation kept costs low and pride of ownership high.
