The yard of a late 1800s farm house in the Hillman City neighborhood has remained largely untouched. An old apple orchard tree sits on the site of unfenced lawn.

This design proposes large swaths of prairie-like planting, screens of red and yellow twig dogwood, a small grove of crape myrtle, limited fencing with a modern aesthetic, pathways and patio of architectural slab, a kitchen garden with raised steel planters, alley parking defined by short gabion walls, and a small deck for sauna and soaking tub sheltered by an existing climbing rose.
