Embracing Simplicity and Neighborhood Deer
Design by
Michael Blazing
A design that perfectly blends the existing sidewalks and stone walls, with the new look of low-maintenance, deer-friendly plants to complement the shady front yard.
This front yard enhancement successfully balanced the preservation of the existing features, such as the sidewalks and the stone walls, while carefully shifting the focal point to the simple selection of plantings.
We selected plants that would thrive in a heavily shaded area while neighborhood deer visit for a treat throughout the year. The deer-resistant selection of plants included boxwoods, spruce, bergenia, geranium, salvia, and ligularia.
It was important that we preserve existing features throughout this project, but the existing landscape lighting system had many fixtures and wiring issues. We installed a completely new system, taking advantage of low-voltage LED fixtures not only for efficiency but also for cost-effectiveness in comparison to high-voltage systems.
The lighting system accents the brick features of the home as well as two massive oak trees in the front yard. This new lighting system provides curb appeal and peace of mind during darker hours.
