Inspiration for a modern full sun front yard landscaping in New York for summer.

The area was a shady, unused access from the front yard to the rear yard. It was un-inviting and a catch all for excess plants. Fanal Astilbe, Purple Smoke Tree, a Dawn Redwood, Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar, Dwarf Chinese Astilbe, and White Hydrangea accent the natural stepping stone walkway to a secluded sitting area. The antique white iron chair and table set is used as a whimsical setting for climbing annuals. The pea gravel path leads from the rear yard to the front yard. Japanese Painted Ferns, Hay Scented Ferns, Royal Ferns, Ostrich Ferns, and Beech Ferns enhance the edges with soft texture and seasonal structure.

This property was design and installed in 2008. This is the first comprehensive Sustainable landscape in the State of Michigan. This comprehensive sustainable landscape features permeable paver driveway and walkway, porous concrete city sidewalk, large rain gardens, rain barrels, and recycled products such as recycled concrete for the base material and finished compost in the planting beds. Everything listed was installed over the course of 6 weeks and the homeowner has loved the fact that they have created a landscape that greatly helps the environment. This project was completed in the Old Westside Neighborhood by Sexton High School. As you can see in the pictures provided, we drastically changed the front of this home and the gardens have grown into very lush plantings. Specimen plants include (3) Weeping Alaskan Cedar, (1) Large Weeping White Pine, and (1) Weeping Beech. The plantings have created 4 season interest.

An upright beech, Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck Purple' guards the corner entrance to the backyard, while a massive holly , Ilex x aquipernyi 'Dragon Lady' helps screen the HVAC units. We used this holly across the foundation plantings to add scale and to tie together the planting scheme. Pretty, isn't she!
