This contemporary hilltop home is nestled into a wooded Huron River Watershed ravine. The main goals of the master plan were to 1) create (deer tolerant) plant beds with enough substantial plant mass to fit the broad scale of the two story house and 2) to properly grade and provide a longterm draintile system that would relieve the site's wet lawn drainage conditions (due in large part to the heavy clay subsoil).

Stone slab steps and an irregular bluestone patio were added off the existing screened porch as was a rear perimeter plant bed with placed boulders and night lighting. A full-sun cutting garden and vegetable/herb garden plots were planted in a terraced stone step staircase leading down to a lower level patio area and rain garden.
