Removed layer of landscape fabric, added organic matter to soil and planted six ornamental grasses on back row and five on front row. Once the grasses fill-in it will create a soft screen of varying greens from early spring through fall. This is an excellent and low budget project to improve and bring character to an unused rock bed.

This client had recently moved into her “retirement home” and wanted to re-do and add on to the plantings for continual interest and beauty. There were many areas to clean up and remove years of weeds and neglect. Once that was done, new areas were established for new beds & bio-soil and boulderettes were brought in for contrast & retaining purposes.
