Sharon View Garden

This garden had a unique challenge.  On my first visit I thought: "Oh goodness, I have no idea how I'm going to improve the look of this awkward entrance". 
BEFORE
When the homeowners agreed that they were definitely going to remove the Victorian style door, I felt some relief.  Notice in the photo the sidewalk the is jammed-up flush with the long empty wall.

COMPLETED ENTRY
Changing the location of the entry steps solves one problem.  Borrowing the graceful curve of the bay window makes the new stairs fit.

DURING CONSTRUCTION OF STONE STEPS
 The above photo was taken during construction.  Hiring a talented stonemason added great value to this project.
YES...FROM AWKWARD TO AWESOME!
