Benton Harbor, MI

The Challenge: Create a landscape full of amenities while screened from a busy intersection and preserving the golf course views. Even bigger challenge...offer something a bit more drastic in beauty than the typical rain garden.

The Solution: Full masses of plantings for all seasons, eliminating the need for a traditional lawn. Use of subtle berms to feature outer lying views of the naturalistic course and prairie. In the front of the house, a rain garden collects and filters contaminants from the road.

Overall Effect: A full, spectacular display of color and grasses for all 4 seasons. An area where the front commands as much attention as the typical backyard landscape!
