Dealing with a Difficult Slope

 

This client had a failing stairway and hodgepodge of slope, plant and utility problems along the side of their home.  There was no good way to get from the front yard to the back yard.

We proposed a wrapping stair way and planter design that would be safe, functional and attractive.

Our crew did a great job, responding to hidden challenges and adjusting on the fly.  The client is thrilled with their new side yard.
