Landscape Design Solution:
This area was once a lawn, but not a great lawn given the poor soil, and sloping site behind this residence. Yet, this was a prime view from many rooms in the home. Clients wished to gain a nicer view from their deck and windows, and create a habitat to benefit birds and butterflies. A mixture of native wildflowers and native warm season grasses provides four season of interest from the plantings and brings regular wildlife visitors seeking nectar, seeds, or shelter.
