Scott & Catherine Buley, HTT&T, High Tech Turf & Trees, Rain Garden Nursery, LandscapeMakeover.biz. A photo of the far back yard, where we planted Heritage River Birch, a Rain Garden with native plantings, and the Bearberry (cotoneaster dammeri) groundcover you see here. These were installed as 4" pots, two to three feet apart, and grew to cover the ground in no time at all. Dense green with pretty white flowers and red fruit.

Upon acquiring the property, the homeowner faced a compact backyard dominated by a neglected lawn that offered little usability. The ambition was not only to enhance the outdoor space's utility but to inject it with vibrant aesthetics and dynamism through the hardscape. To bring this vision to life, we embraced a palette of colorful materials, choosing multicolored concrete, pavers, and tiles that introduce a playful yet sophisticated charm. Further creativity was applied in the design through the use of curvy lines that flow organically throughout the space, leading the eye and inviting movement. Beach rocks were thoughtfully embedded into decorative bands, adding a tactile and visual texture that complements the curvilinear approach. This strategic combination of color, texture, and form transformed the backyard into a visually stimulating and highly functional outdoor living area.

Lawn no more. Now this garden is fun, eclectic and eye catching. Just what the neighborhood needed. The local wildlife are also happy to have someplace new to eat lunch in.
