Design ideas for a large craftsman partial sun backyard gravel pond in Burlington.

Purchased by Piperbear in 2012 from the original owners, this 1950s Cape Cod needed a complete stylistic makeover. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was mostly removed, and the kitchen was redone with a new layout, granite countertops and new appliances; the downstairs bathroom was updated with new fixtures and period appropriate black and white hexagon tile. Upstairs, 220 feet of square footage was added by raising the roof and pushing into the dormers, creating a new full bathroom and laundry area.

Here you can see the diversity of plantings along the retaining walls- Artemisia, Sedum, Junipers, Shrub Roses and a variety of annuals.
This is an example of a small rustic full sun and drought-tolerant backyard stone retaining wall landscape in Detroit for summer.
