Backyard Retreat for All

This homeowner had a backyard that needed a new life. The solution included a mix of native plants and a native dry-stacked wall. The new stone wall helped raised an existing planting bed so the plants would be visible from the back porch.  Native evergreen shrubs placed along the fence will provide the homeowner with privacy year-round and food for the birds in winter. Native wildflowers will add color, interest and attract beneficial insects to their yard. This new backyard is not only a nice retreat for the homeowners, but is a retreat for the birds and insects.
