Before and After...

Recently I came across some "before" pictures of one of my client's gardens and boy am I glad I had the foresight to take them. It's so rewarding to see what a difference a good garden design can make!! Not to mention, there is no way of truely remembering how things used to look, and having these shots certainly captures "back then". I highly recommend taking before and after shots and I hope to remember to take that advice too! This backyard had an unsightly brick planter and a real lack of privacy from the neighbors. After designing the water feature to trickle out of a boulder in the planter down a little stream to a small pond, the challenge was to soften all these elements with landscaping...before (March-2006)

Success! The planter is hidden and you don't see the neighbors! My client's have been taking very good care of this garden and it is a true pleasure to tend to and revisit this backyard.
