As with many of the projects we take on, there's a gorgeous, recently purchased vintage Portland residence in excellent condition, hidden behind an overgrown front yard landscape that hasn't been tended-to in many years. In this case study, a two-foot-tall wall, constructed of native, Oregon stone served to ground the front yard landscape, greatly increasing 'curb-appeal.' This, accompanied by a set of centrally located, bluestone stairs and a distinctive entry path beyond, elevated the visual presence of the front yard, increased the value of the home and improved accessibility.
