Front of Home – New Bluestone walk leading to the front entry and across the front; veneered bluestone on the stoop.

Front Bluestone patio and plant beds redone (fencing with fleur-de-lis tops existing); gas lamps above the patio and at the front door added.

New Bluestone walkway leads through the side yard where it transitions to clay pavers.

Before – side yard had overgrown shrubs and sloped, cracked concrete.

The side yard walkway led to this back corner. The patio sloped so much – the only level space for a table was up against the house.

From the same angle: Fence post brick matches the fireplace and retaining walls; new cedar fence/gate with wrought iron accents; red-bricked water feature with copper weir

The “other half” of the back yard – before – the bench was no more than a garden ornament.
-
Tore everything out; mostly hand-dug for gas lines and 42" frost footings for the fireplace and retaining walls.
-
After – cedar fence and junipers add to the privacy; easy to maintain back yard; plenty of room to entertain family and friends.
