Highlands

The Complete Package

Project Description

This existing site in an established foothills neighborhood included overgrown plant material that screened the front of the house. Furthermore, the steep front yard presented a maintenance challenge for the owner, as did an inefficient existing irrigation system.

In the redesign of this project, Breckon landdesign ​created a xeriscape yard that included a new entry walk with stairs to connect the side walk to the front door. Before this design, guests were required to walk up the sloped driveway, then over a skinny sidewalk next to the house.

Board-formed concrete walls offer a contemporary edge and play off the lines of the concrete steps, which included recessed strip lights for a subtle, after-hours effect. Linear plantings, in accord with a limited plant palette make a simple, modern design statement.

New address signage reinforced the modern aesthetic and served as an artful focal point for the walls.
