Alpharetta home remodel with new landscape and masonry

Featured Project:

A new landscape for Alpharetta home

Before: Recently remodeled Alpharetta home was ready for new landscaping and masonry

Here are the before pictures. The home has little landscaping, and the front steps needed wing walls and painting to match the house.

A slope on the left side was too steep to mow. We wanted to show off the clean facade of the house and not bury it with too many foundation plants. Also we needed to use deer proof plants, as much as possible!

Alpharetta landscape remodel with dry set stone wall and new plantings

New landscaping features a dryset stone wall with trailing plants, and formal boxwoods highlighting the beautiful brick and bluestone staircase. The plantings along the house are placed with a light touch, so not to bury the home. Featured plants are: vinca minor, lenten rose, rhododendron, hydrangea, boxwood, softtouch holly, sedums, creeping jenny, and iris.

Plant Care After the December Freeze

What a spring it's been with bare plants everywhere from the December deep freeze. Fortunately, most of the plants that appeared dead in March did leaf out and live. Be sure to fertilize and prune the dead wood off your plants now, if you haven't already done so. We lost very few plants that were planted last fall. However, many of the plants did not recover until early June, due to the cool spring weather. This caused a great deal of anxiety.
