Search results for "Poor condition" in Home Design Ideas

This is a very small space that measures approximately 20x14 feet and gets very little sunlight. The client is from New Orleans where they still maintain a house and wanted something that would remind them of home so we went with a contemporary take on the New Orleans-style courtyard. This space was unused and the landscape died as a result of poor soil conditions, poor drainage and heavy shade long before we took on the project. Our mission was to 1) Invite the homeowner into a space they were familiar and comfortable with, and 2) Involve all of their senses (aesthetics for the eyes, water fountain for the ears, fragrant flowers and herbs for the nose).
This picture is the left side of this outdoor living space which features a refurbished fountain. The client had this fountain laying in the corner of the courtyard, broken and forgotten. We had a specialist restore it and give it the patina that creates the sort of character you would expect from a New Orleans style courtyard.
Again, this is a very small area that was unused and is now a permanent and regular part of this client's daily living.

This backyard pool was inaccessible to excavation equipment or a cement truck so everything was dug and hauled using manual labor. The foundation was extended and footings were dug 8 feet because of poor soil conditions.

Sometimes the cost of painting an existing vanity vs. a new vanity isn't only the cost of the labor, fixing the old doors, the inside shelves were in poor condition, and the overall space the vanity provided was sub par...so we did replace the vanity and they have so much more functioning space. We did however paint the linen cabinet and the adjoining wall, and it really makes it look built it. I think this transformation is a home run!!!

Poor drainage conditions in the front yard , including inlets and a swale across the entire property, needed to be addressed. Compounding the permitting process was the need for an additional driveway to be made onto a township roadway. Also taken into consideration were the dark stucco and rich architectural details of the home, as they required a simple yet bold and colorful landscape treatment to harmonize the home and gardens.
After removing the existing plantings and concrete paver walkway, the entire front lawn was regraded to direct runoff to a more desirable location. The new driveway lined with cobblestone, now accommodates parking for guests and ample room for traffic.

This was an old home in dreadful condition. The current owners purchased with a view to achieving a major transformation from floor to roof.
The builder used his creative flair to decide how best to open up the space and convert poorly used rooms to useful areas. Walls were removed and the HVAC transfered to the attic. Every door, and window was replaced and a fabuloius kichen installed in the main open plan living area.
The home is now occupied by a young family and the value substantially increased.

The goal of this project was to provide a lush and vast garden for the new owners of this recently remodeled brick Georgian. Located in Wheaton this acre plus property is surrounded by beautiful Oaks.
Preserving the Oaks became a particular challenge with the ample front walk and generous entertaining spaces the client desired. Under most of the Oaks the turf was in very poor condition, and most of the property was covered with undesirable overgrown underbrush such as Garlic Mustard weed and Buckthorn.
With a recently completed addition, the garages were pushed farther from the front door leaving a large distance between the drive and entry to the home. This prompted the addition of a secondary door off the kitchen. A meandering walk curves past the secondary entry and leads guests through the front garden to the main entry. Off the secondary door a “kitchen patio” complete with a custom gate and Green Mountain Boxwood hedge give the clients a quaint space to enjoy a morning cup of joe.
Stepping stone pathways lead around the home and weave through multiple pocket gardens within the vast backyard. The paths extend deep into the property leading to individual and unique gardens with a variety of plantings that are tied together with rustic stonewalls and sinuous turf areas.
Closer to the home a large paver patio opens up to the backyard gardens. New stoops were constructed and existing stoops were covered in bluestone and mortared stonewalls were added, complimenting the classic Georgian architecture.
The completed project accomplished all the goals of creating a lush and vast garden that fit the remodeled home and lifestyle of its new owners. Through careful planning, all mature Oaks were preserved, undesirables removed and numerous new plantings along with detailed stonework helped to define the new landscape.

The aspiration was to create a graphic from that was in oppo.
