Running Bond Brick Walkway In Tanglewood Front Yard Landscaping Case History --

We were contacted by a Tanglewood resident who was unhappy with the appearance of her front yard. The existing drive was nothing more than a massive concrete slab that left little room for any vegetation other than small patches of San Augustine grass and a magnolia tree that was very close to cracking the back wall next to the house. The landscape had excellent drainage, which in most cases is a good thing. However, in this instance the topsoil retained very little rainwater, so for at least six months of the year the grass would wither and turn brown. Our client wanted this grass replaced with lush plantings of vegetation that would feature varying shades of green with seasonal flowers, and she also wanted a brick walkway that would add a classic Old World touch reminiscent of horse and carriage days of past centuries.
