BLAME IT ON THE PORCH! / by Faith Michaels

When they called me, our Newton clients had just added the most beautiful porch to their lovely victorian home. Now they wanted landscaping to enhance the new work. Upon my initial visit, I suggested taking up the old pavers and adding a bluestone pathway from the carpark to a sweet rest area surrounded by a half moon wall. They loved the idea and we were off to the races!

We moved a lot of trees around to create a backdrop for the new wall and create some privacy from the aqueduct crowd. A new stepping stone pathway connects cleanly to the back door. We were happy to change out the old front door landing with beautiful natural bluestone surrounded by lush plantings. Now this home has a landscape to match her beauty!
