Mid Century Curb Appeal
2016 Landscape Award: Minnesota Nursery & Landscape Association
What began as a request for a new driveway resulted in a reimagined front yard that reflects the mid-century beauty of this architect-designed 1950’s home. Ground One provided these homeowners with a unique driveway, resolved their drainage problems, and designed a custom landscape that reflected their home’s unique architecture. Design elements included:
- Cantilevered steps that mimic a concrete waterfall
- A custom-designed iron handrail
- Rectangular retaining walls framing the oaks & entry
- Raised plantbed with Quaking Aspen for privacy
- Lighting under the cantilevered concrete platforms
