Beautiful as it was, this property was only accessible from an easement through the neighbor’s driveway,  with very little space for visitor’s parking. Meanwhile, getting to the mailbox required a hike of almost a quarter mile! The front slope was overgrown with “widow maker” branches hanging in the air and invasive ivy and blackberry getting a strong foothold across the entire slope. 

With a bit of pruning & invasive removal, some shuffling of the existing downed trees, and the inclusion of “restoration juniper” timbers, we were able to regrade the space and generate accessibity to a whole new sector of the landscape. And now visiting friends parking on the road near the mailbox have a fun new route to gain access to the home, and the daily path to get the mail invites alluring side-quests through the wilderness-turned-habitat garden.
