A Dramatic Transformation


  Green Acres Landscaping creates 

A Dramatic Transformation!


BEFORE: A severe drainage problem at the back of the house (a retaining wall was draining too much and undermining the rear deck). A steep hillside with the inability to mow or plant it properly.

 

AFTER: A masonry and gravel drainage system which corrected the problem.
The cobblestone pavers fit tightly and look great, but do allow all water to percolate under ground and out of the area to drains placed in the front hill.

The paver path continues around the entire front of the house, where it was in a shallower, but well-prepared hole which had gravel and basecoarse in it.

8 large oak trees were removed from the front hill (steep, appx. 40 deg. angle) which opened up areas to plant and also gave the large front porch the benefit of a lot more sun and sky.
