This particular site was deemed too excessive for the typical split-level rancher. This may have been a reluctance by the 1956 build date or of the constraints associated with excessive excavating costs. In this design the staggered steps, curvilinear borders, and arched plantings are justified by this design implementation.
Wide navigable steps with frequent and generous resting plateau-like areas contribute to an acceptable access.

Showing the extremes of this residential lot, wide stepping and an abundance of platform-like rest areas, this design provides an acceptable solution to this steep lots’ limitations.

Highly reflective storefront glazing found in most retail auto sales centers, along with the necessities of parking lot asphalt paving, this hardscape will create a pleasant sun-filled courtyard area within the brick separation. Future plantings will further soften this transition. Along with additional design features such as awnings, waterscapes and informational kiosks, this courtyard will provide a relaxed area for customers and employees alike.
This hardscape commercial retail area, shows another use of a curvilinear feature.
Using photo editing software this presentation drawing renders the auto dealers street side elevations into a future project. This proposed look will improve the “metal building” warehouse look typically found on many existing commercial highway structures.

Inviting and warm, this pleasurable entrance way is achieved by the flowering color of both annual and perennial plantings . Street side “first impressions” are one of the most cost effective methods of total ROI (return on investment) for the homeowner.
Choosing built in planting areas, these owners will keep their future landscape time, energy and costs on track by providing a constant year to year planting agenda.
To enjoy the pleasant and colorful plantings, a large expanse of hardscape is provided to encourage one to traverse safely without the associated fear oftentimes associated with narrow walkways.
Inside looking out rewards this owner with the satisfaction and enrichment that comes by creating this pleasant and easily manageable space.
