Front Door: Before & After


Lovely home, below, builder-special landscaping.


Page Duke: Before the landscape design

What, below, happened?

Page Duke: A Strong Landscape Focal Point

Adjusting eyeballs back into sockets, the before/after leave only questions.  Did new owners move in?  How much property for the site, for the front yard?  What does the backyard look like, too small, slope, etc?  Who's brilliant idea to treat the front yard as a back yard?  Painting the brick, yes.
.
Every penny of this hardscape goes into house value.  Wooooowzzzzzza.
.
Views from inside the home changed.  Lifestyle of the home changed.
.
Historic garden design, nothing new.  However, totally new here.

Garden & Be Well,     XO Tara

And bravo for sophisticated, open clientele...this is well-done. Not anything most of the black Hummer - yuppie yoga-then-yuppie cafe crowd would do here! (though they do like Atlanta plants)

I'll say that's a transformation and more value than most know is possible.
