This Arts & Crafts home is a stunner, but lacked the curb appeal and landscaping to do it justice.

This sidewalk leading to the side entrance was poured directly next to the homes foundation. It caused water to leak into the basement and cause foundation damage. We can fix that!

The worn out steps had seen better days. The paint was peeling, the wood was rotting and this staircase lacked the classic Arts & Crafts design deserving of this home.

It was unfortunate the yard sloped into the home, and water became a real issue in this basement. Grading the yard properly was a priority.

This yard had so many plantings that were beautiful, but had become overgrown as the plants spread. All of these could be saved and reused, if they were split into a more manageable size.

Now this Arts & Crafts home is complete. The new front steps are complementary to the Arts & Crafts style of this home. The clean lines and natural tones blend into the more natural Prairie style landscaping these homeowners wanted.

These front steps and walls, draw your attention to the homes architecture. Using the homes exterior colors as a guide, this new staircase attention grabber, without distracting from this beautiful home.

The new staircase is sturdy and well designed. It mimics the front staircase in style and color, and gave these avid gardeners a place to showcase their planters.

The homeowners choice in paver color and pattern accents the lines of this home. The entire yard was regraded to prevent water from reaching the basement. Rock was used against the foundation to help with drainage and add a simplicity to the yards design.

This corner was a focal point. An added French drain was installed in the corner of this garden to help aid in the disbursement of water from the gutters. It is hidden in plain sight.

This couple decided they wanted a rain garden with native plants to help with leading the water away from the homes foundation. Plants that were original to the home and area were used to fill in this garden. The excess water from the roof and gutters feeds these hardy plants and provides a secure area for it to remain until it is absorbed.

We hate to throw out anything that could be reused. This yard had an extraordinary amount of usable plants. We reused the majority of plants removed when we regraded the yard. Adding a few new native plants was all that was needed to create a new splendor.
