A Walkway Worth the Welcome
Design by
Ron Peterson
A large crack in the concrete sidewalk. Tired landscape beds.
“That’s just not our style,” our clients told landscape designer Ron Peterson.
We don’t blame them!
Besides the home’s existing front entrance being unsightly, it was also a tripping hazard. With a growing family and busy schedules, we took on the task of creating an appealing and low-maintenance front yard landscape.
Thoughtful Design Meets Low Maintenance Beauty
In the design, Ron selected a classy Techo-Bloc paver pattern to create an inviting front walkway that complements the home’s existing character.
Since our clients asked for “low maintenance,” we agreed on a simple plant pallet of boxwoods and hydrangeas to line the walkway and the home’s front facade.
A final touch is the landscape lighting along the walkway, providing ambiance and evening safety.
The Mailbox Challenge
We weren’t done yet!
Our clients had always wanted a permanent mailbox to complement their home.
“We have installed many masonry mailboxes, but this one had a twist,” Ron says.
The stone veneer used on the house was a special discontinued blend. Ron worked with Hebron Brick and Tile to custom-order a blend that matches the house.
“In the end, the client loved it,” Ron says. “We added a black mailbox to tie it all together and created a simple, contemporary landscape.”
