Nelis Residence
Goals: We were asked to create a sense of privacy from a busy neighborhood street while not sacrificing all the lawn or creating something too high maintenance, since our clients were parents of two young children.
Challenges: Achieving the goal of creating privacy in such a small yard and leaving enough room to have a lawn.
Results: We created a raised berm in which we planted two native dogwoods whose horizontal branching pattern will, overtime create the desired privacy while creating a habitat for a lush shade garden underneath.
