Massing House

After Jack, Star and their son Max did some work on the house and painted the exterior, it was time for a little landscaping. We decided to go with a more natural approach by adding native and butterfly attracting material. See the before and afters.

Leyendecker Landscape came in to begin the clean out phase and prepare the new Flowerbeds. The next step was to add the stone border.  Moss Rock was the stone of choice here to add a natural look.

Here we have a combination of texture and monochromatism, with a splash of color using      perennials  for a low maintenance design.

Thank you to the Massing family for giving me the chance to make a difference in the Heights, once again :)
