THE CHALLENGE
A steep slope caused stormwater to flood the backyard, making the space unusable. The homeowners also wanted raised beds, native plantings, and seasonal color to make the yard both functional and inviting.
OUR APPROACH
We reshaped the slope and positioned raised beds to direct runoff toward a rear drainage culvert—solving the flooding while creating structure for planting beds and hardscaping.
THE RESULTS
The redesigned yard now manages water effectively and features vibrant native plants and raised beds. It’s a beautiful space that’s built to last.
