Corner Lot Landscape Transformation in Rose City Park Neighborhood
We return for Part 2 to the challenging Portland corner lot project completed by Landscape Design in a Day’s Alana Chau. Exceeding the expectations of our clients for their corner lot landscape design in Rose City Park neighborhood.
This N.E. Portland home needed a welcoming entry walk and a back yard. The entry was not near convenient parking and the utility pole blocks the view of the old fashioned double gate.
Rain Garden Functional for Drainage and Fun Play Space for Kids
The rain garden location was chosen to handle water from a downspout that was completely in the way of the new walk. We had to take the water under the pathway and that opened up more choices for us.
Fencing for City Lot
Now the corner of the property is the very useable play back yard.
The addition of fencing by Cascade Fence and Deck makes this space private and keeps this city play area puppy-poo free while the rain garden is an additional place for the kids to play.
Installation for this difficult project was handled by D & J Landscape Contractors with Donna Burdick. Alana was on-site from design and through the installation which is something we love to do.
We enjoy a good challenge. Landscape Design in a Day was the perfect fit for this active young family. The clients were thrilled with the design and felt very much a part of the design team. Making their landscape work functionally and fulfill the clients dreams was a joy for Alana. Contact us to talk about your ideal hardscape landscaping and planting dreams.
