Before and After

“Silverlake Jewel”

Transformations:

Front Yard

The exposed front yard of the property was transformed into a secluded grassy meadow with a dry creek bed, to which the drainage from the backyard area can flow.

Back Yard

This barren space has become a central activity area, complete with a semicircular concrete seat and fire pit for lounging, all punctuated and defined by strategic plantings.
