Project 2: Carmichael Curb Appeal
The homeowners of this Carmichael residence really loved the
interior of their home, but felt that the front yard could use
some curb appeal.

The two biggest problems
with this lot are the lack of separation between the
houses and the large amount of pavement. Putting plum
trees on either side of the house
(6 on the left and 3 on the right) helps to separate the
houses. Because the trees are dark purple and on both
sides of the driveway, the effect is to frame the house,
making it stand apart from its neighbors. The large
amount of pavement is obscured by heavy plantings.

side of their driveway.
