Modern Frontscape

Concrete retaining wall with stairs and built in outdoor lighting.

The Vision

This client wanted a front yard with a strong modern presence, beginning with a concrete retaining wall that delivers a true “wow” factor. We added concrete steps with integrated lighting, a concrete border garden wall positioned along the back of the property near the house, and a concrete driveway to carry that modern look throughout the space.

On the opposite side of the retaining wall, rocks and intentional plantings add softness and balance. Together, these elements transformed the front yard into a modern and welcoming entry.

A row of sidewalk houses with well-maintained front yards and plants, including tall grass-like plants, with a concrete driveway, steps, and a garage door, on a clear day with trees in the background.
