AGING INTO THE GARDEN

This recently retired couple contacted us to help them get their first professional landscaping installed at their house. The current hardscape had a concrete patio that had aged and settled unevenly creating trip hazards all over. The current veg beds were too wide and short to garden without strain on the body. The irrigation system had a major leak several years ago and had not been turned back on since then. The yard was weedy, and the existing fruit trees needed care. To give them ease of access we installed new concrete pavers and taller narrower veg beds. We also installed a new irrigation system with flow monitoring, a new berry planting and ornamental planting, and mulch throughout. This customer invested approximately $75,000 to create the professionally landscaped yard they never had, and give themselves a garden they can continue to enjoy as they grow older.
