Dog Friendly Yard
Back Yard Retreat in Littleton
This has been one of my Favorite projects. When I arrived on site in September of 2003 there was 8000 Square Feet of Dead Lawn.
The Objectives:
Reduce water Requirements
Make it Low Maintenance
Create a Path to the Shed and back
Several Seating Areas
Hide the Neighbors.
On a project of this size having one garden that covers 8000 Square feet will be very interesting, So I created 6 Focal Points / Gardens.
- Perennial Garden
- Fire Pit Patio
- Rose Garden
- Wild Flower Prairie Garden
- Romance Area
- And Grand Kids Lawn
Clean Plan in Littleton
Reduced Sod in Lakewood
For this Project we reduced that amount of water needed by Planting Xeric plants and reducing the amount of sod while keeping the HOA happy and still fitting in with the neighborhood.
