Raised Ranch Remodels

13 years ago

Considering there are 100's of these type houses in a 5 mile radius from my raised ranch, I'm glad to see these retrofits to give them more individuality and character. Do you have any other examples here or elsewhere of ranch redo's? I want to do something similar to our house. But I'm leaning toward's and arts and crafts style.

Thank you so much for answering so quickly!! A beautiful job of both the building and your landscape design working together - - -

and oh! looking her up on google resulted in a link to your book with Sarah Susanka that the project is featured in - that I have right here on my shelf, how about that. Well this should distract me for the next several hours ..... :)

Hi Rebecca! We don't have other ranch landscape photos to share at this time, but we're glad to hear that you're looking for a personalized and unique landscape to set your ranch apart from your neighbors' homes. The Asian contemporary style worked very well for our client, and we agree that Arts & Crafts would also be a good complementary style for a ranch. Good luck with your project!
