Bonnie Doon Customer Vision

• To renovate the existing landscape to attract nature
• Wanted to attract birds by having a more nature setting & the right plant material
• A water feature and entertaining space for small groups

The Challenges

• Customer wanted lots of features, in a very small yard.
• Existing yard was artificial turf, so there was lots of gravel under it. This all had to be excavated, removed, and garden soil mix added, so plants could thrive.
• Finding the right balance of plant material so birds will both be attracted to the yard, and then stay in the yard.

The Design

• A Rocky Mountain style was chosen. This united all the elements of water feature, birds, & plants.
• I created a get-away that takes you on a journey thru nature. You start by listening to a mountain stream, then crossing a dry creek over a stone bridge, that takes you to a small patio tucked away in the forest.
• Along the way, there are plants that flower throughout the season & have different fragrances, to entice you to stay a little longer.
