Fitting the House Into the Landscape


before image of Birch Grove BEFORE
Boxwoods line the foundation of this house, which are fitting plants for Williamsburg-style homes. However, planted in this way, they accentuate the front wall instead of softening it.


AFTER
All but two boxwoods, one on each side of the front door, have been transplanted. Large, sweeping beds of perennials have been added, along with a grove of river birches to meld the house with the landscape.
