Wall to level landscape at front door

We renovated this 10 year old landscaping by removing all shrubs that had grown so large that they were hiding the house. We kept the bald cypress tree and pruned the red loropetalums at the far right. Liriope, daylilies and dwarf gardenias were transplanted and reused from the original landscape. We always reuse what is feasible. A stone wall was added in front of the porch to provide a level space here that draws the eye to the entrance. Terraced walls were added along right front of house to aid in erosion control as well as to balance the design. Photographer: Danna Cain, Home & Garden Design, Inc.
