Privacy in the Open

Why do Americans give real estate to passing cars?

Vanishing Threshold landsape design starts inside your home. Not at the street.

Pics taken last week. A client from many years ago called me back for some tweeking. They are both self-employed, grandparents & have Show dogs. Crazy busy lives, yet wanting a beautiful, little care, landscape. They are do-it-yourself gardeners.
Good timing for the visit. They are repainting soon & we will choose a more faded shade of white & the gutters will become 'copper'. And they're in need of a good pruning. A fabulous landscape with zero styling for these pics. (Magazine landscapes styled for their moment of glory aren't my thing.)
