Lawn Gone!

Backyard Transformation

Yet another drab yard demanding lots of attention without giving much back in return. These clients were looking to enhance the function of their existing outdoor space by adding a path, some privacy, and another seating area for enjoying mountain views.

When we met, it was also very evident that they were frustrated with the appearance and upkeep of their existing turf.

I provided a few options for keeping sections of turfgrass, and one that removed the lawn completely. They were thrilled with the idea of adding interest and never having to mow again and decided to say “so long” to the pesky lawn.
