A touch of silver
A sloping front yard defined with concrete edging, stone and boulders, finished with a Bismarck palm at its center.
At the initial meeting, the client was looking for a fresh new look with low maintenance and color for the front of the house. He wished to have concrete edging along the beds. We discussed creating a one to two foot high stacked rock wall to define the beds, since the front yard sloped towards the street.
Most of the landscape in the front of the house was removed except for the hibiscus and white bird of paradise. The new planting consisted of a gardenia, blue daze, dwarf tibouchina, magnificent crotons, dwarf ixora and Carissa ‘Emerald Blanket’. The client had also wanted a palm tree in the front yard, so a Bismarck palm was installed in the middle of the turf area with dwarf ixora planted at its base. The addition of landscape boulders provided another texture and color to the landscape. The irrigation was also modified to provide proper coverage to all the new plantings.
