This corner house has become more and more of an art project over the years. The owners have experimented with different looks and now have achieved what can only be the finished product. The use of succulents and rocks around the focal point of the gardener is quite wonderful.
Moving around to the front, there is color and design that shows thoughtfulness and good planning.
And now, moving farther along, we find something a bit puzzling. Why would a table and logs for chairs be put on the parkway? It is a nice conversation piece, but is it really a place for conversation? Inquiring minds want to know. Also, while it looks very trim and neat, putting down artificial grass, a.k.a. plastic, is truly an environmental no-no. It does little to discourage weeds, is hotter in the sun than natural ground covers, and only adds plastic bits to the air, water, and soil.
But lest you think all I can do is criticize, we'll end on a high note of the lovely archway to the house. So much character and charm.
