Sun, Shade, Social
The front lawn of this Ballard home wasn’t very welcoming, something the client wanted to change (see “before” picture at bottom).
We decided to replace the lawn entirely, designing a wider, more inviting bluestone walkway and patio—complete with an open fence to provide a bit of separation from the sidewalk while still allowing interaction with passers-by.
The patio also gives the homeowners a place to take advantage of the morning sunlight, and just as important, a shady respite during hot afternoons.
