Charming Cottage Yard
This Upper Arlington home has been loved by its owners for years but the front yard and entry area lacked the style they'd been able to bring into its interior.
The old concrete front porch was never so enjoyable to sit on as now.
Their home's entry area was completely rebuilt as well, into a quaint and welcoming courtyard. The two pillars echo the stone on the home's façade and focus the visitor's attention on the front door. A secret garden awaits the visitors.
This lovely little water feature is easy to care for - and such a perfect addition to the cozy entry courtyard.
The picket fence creates a bit of privacy for porch-sitters, but doesn't block curious on-lookers having an evening stroll along the street.
During the process of completing a landscape plan for their property, the homeowners were thrilled that their dream of a vegetable garden would fit into an unused space in this side yard.
Jacobs Grant Design ltd coordinated the design of a trellised screen with the neighbor. This garden has all the charm of a garden in Williamsburg.
At the back of the garden area is a soft path through serviceberry trees.
