Our small front yard was in need of a makeover. The job itself was relatively small (two days work) but Damon generously worked us into his busy schedule. When Damon arrived for the quote, he provided several good ideas as to how we could maximize the space and give the front some curb appeal at a very competitive price.
To better contain the soil bed above the tree, they built a small retaining wall complete with a decorative corner stone for effect. And because the tree had shallow roots, it had to be handled carefully. With the added soil depth now contained within the walls, we are now able to add plants which previously wouldn’t grow. They poured a new concrete pedestal and moved the lamppost to a more ideal location. Previously it blocked view of our brand new front door. They repositioned our existing boxwoods under the front window and planted more along the border of the property. New soil and sod was laid next to the tree and on our front patch. They removed the unproductive old soil and clay, and the new extra layer of topsoil will ensure our lawn thrives come spring. Decorative grasses were planted on the front patch to hide the unsightly green hydro box.
The crew arrived on time, worked diligently and never left a mess. They were also careful not to damage our newish driveway and steps. All of our neighbours were impressed with the results and tell us that it’s basically a whole new front yard. We couldn’t be happier. The front yard now looks as good as our new driveway, steps, front door and garage door!
