This was initially a steep slope in a front yard that was covered with grass and weeds.We built two weathered steel retaining walls to create three terraces made accessible by steel-framed steps filled with gravel and a flagstone paver path. The terraces that are flanked by beautiful drought resistant plants complete with drip irrigation make this front yard not only aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly, but most importantly, usable!

Close up of same front yard bed - different year when a Oakleaf Hydrangea starts to dominate (relocated it in 2014). Catnip and Liriope line the front and have no problem with road salt and dog urine. The Catnip blooms from June to November since this bed becomes full sun as the season turns to winter.
