Yard & Landscaping

Large front and side yard with new landscaping; very low maintenance (little grass). The professionally-installed chainlink fence has gorgeous dark green ivy and silver lace vine which will veil the fence entirely within a couple more years of growth.

*UPDATE: Entire front and back yard having new turf installed this spring. The result will be a large, soft yard for kids to play on and no weeds.

Front

Row of established maple trees along south side for summer shade. Nearly all new landscaping in front of home. Low maintenance (no grass).

Plants include: Kelly's Gold Maple tree (lime green foliage), Purple Robinia tree (grape clustered flowers), Purple Lilac (established), Filbert (nut tree), 2 Smoke Bushes, young Blue and Green Junipers.

Large stones arranged like steps on south side of driveway.

Front finished with bark and river rocks for attractive effect whilst being low maintenance.

*UPDATE: Entire front and back yard having new turf installed this spring. The result will be a large, soft yard for kids to play on and no weeds.

South side

Champagne Grapes on a trellace, two Clematis vines on trellaces, and other flowering plants such as roses and bulbs (Tulip, Iris, Daffodil).

A row of tall, established maple trees and other local plants provides summer shade to the house. The space provides many options.

Established beautiful Blood Japanese maple tree.

North side

*UPDATE: Over 30 tall cedars now separate the house from the neighbours. This is not only very attractive but provides excellent privacy. Photos do not reflect this tasteful addition.

Rear

There is ample space beside the shop where an old garage once stood. It was removed to make room for a new, better garage but the land could easily be transformed into a lawn, RV storage, dog yard or vegetable patch.

Driveway

Gorgeous and artistic concrete driveway [2 years old] allows for parking for 6 vehicles and makes snow removal a breeze!

Walkway to side of the driveway makes lovely use of pavers in ornamental swirling patterns. Further pavers beside the house makes a nice side patio area. One large diamond shape constructed of pavers in the center of the driveway makes a creative statement and matches the same shape painted into the rear deck.

Deck

20.5' x 18' wood deck; newly finished and stained to match the home. The center features an artistic darker green diamond shape, incorporating the pretty decorative paver work in the driveway.

The deck is a nice, sunny spot during summer days and a cool location for outside suppers as it is located on the east side of the house away from the hot evening sun.

Unique Features

The exterior matching black lantern lights on front and rear of home are all new. The front door has a matching storm door with screen for improved insulation in winter and fresh air in summer months.

The muted safe green "Mesa Grey" painted stucco with "Barn Red" doors and neutral "Pigeon" trim add warmth and colour even on the darkest winter days.
