    |
|
I'm a 40-year old mom who enjoys doing home improvements with my husband.
For the past 3 years, my husband and I had been working on our home that we purchased in a very sad state. Juniper bushes all around the house, stray cats and dog "surprises" - use your imagination. We've successfully cleaned out and improved the inside of the house. We just finished our backyard last summer.
This summer, we will tackle our front yard and this is where I will need some help. We are at a loss as to what to do with it. It's approximately a third of an acre and currently have piles of debris that we are currently cleaning out. The front yard will be totally cleared in 2 weeks. We're hoping to get some help from you. We will do the work ourselves but we need ideas. I've taken some pictures and will send them over to whoever is interested.
I'm hoping for some type of Japanese-style or asian-inspired front yard that uses mostly rocks, sand and/or natural materials. Plants will be very minimal. We live in Reno Nevada.
I have posted this request back in November and a few students emailed me. However, I haven't gotten any suggestions back. I'm guessing due to school work or maybe just loss of interest. I'm trying one more time, and hopefully hear from somebody again. I think this might be a good practice for an architecture student.
Thanks.

I suggest you post your images and give a better description of what you are looking for on this forum to start a discussion. Along with your site photos, you should also provide the following information:
Location of Project
Orientation
Site Plan and elevation of the home
Back yard layout
images of your neighbor or anything that is adjacent to your property
Program of your front yard (what kinds of activities you would like to have) |
