Overgrown Junipers Out, Flagstone and Fresh Granite In

This one had been on the homeowner's list for a while. The junipers along the front had outgrown their space - crowding the foundation, covering the window wells, and making the whole front yard feel heavy and dated. That's a really common situation, and it's exactly the kind of thing that's worth fixing right rather than just trimming back year after year.

We pulled the junipers out completely and started fresh. In went flagstone steppers, gray granite with red accents, and a new tree - giving the front yard a much cleaner, more intentional look. The material choices here matter. Granite doesn't need the same upkeep as shrubs, and flagstone steppers give you a functional path without adding more plants to manage.

We also installed new window wells with poly covers. This is something a lot of homeowners overlook until they have a problem. Window wells that are buried under overgrown plants collect debris, trap moisture, and can lead to water getting into the basement. The poly covers keep junk out and let light through - simple fix, real benefit.

The scope of work on this one covered everything from removal to installation. We handled the juniper demo, bed prep, material delivery, window well work, and final cleanup. When it all comes together like this, the difference is hard to miss - what was once a cluttered, overgrown foundation planting is now a clean, low-maintenance front yard that actually works with the house.

Whether your front beds have gotten away from you or your window wells haven't been touched in years, both are worth a closer look. A fresh set of eyes on the situation can make it a lot easier to figure out what actually needs to happen.
