The job
The front lawn was patchy, sloped toward the house and took every Saturday in July. The owners wanted something that looked after itself and gave the kids something to watch.
We stripped the turf, loosened the clay and set a curving limestone path to the porch. The beds are planted in drifts so they read from the street, with grasses for winter structure. Year two, the mowing takes twenty minutes and the monarchs found it in August.
