The Project

This residential property had strong architectural character, but the front landscape and entry experience needed a more intentional design to better complement the home and improve curb appeal.

The homeowners wanted the front of the property to feel more welcoming, colorful, and professionally maintained while creating a softer transition between the home, walkway, and surrounding landscape. They were looking for a landscape that felt established and polished without appearing overly formal.

The Process

Like every Bertog Landscape project, the transformation started with careful planning and a clearly defined vision.

The team evaluated the front entry layout, planting conditions, walkway circulation, architectural style, and opportunities to improve curb appeal through layered landscape design.

Special attention was given to creating natural transitions between the hardscape and planting areas while maintaining a clean and manageable layout for long-term maintenance.

Once the design and scope were finalized, Bertog Landscape’s team handled every phase of installation, including:

  • Brick walkway installation
  • Landscape bed renovation
  • Perennial and seasonal planting installation
  • Garden edge detailing
  • Front entry landscape enhancements
  • Site coordination and finishing details

Because the project was managed by one experienced team from start to finish, the homeowners had clear communication, organized timelines, and confidence throughout the entire process.

Scope of Work

  • Front entry landscape renovation
  • Brick walkway installation
  • Perennial garden design
  • Seasonal color integration
  • Landscape bed enhancements
  • Ornamental planting installation
  • Garden edge and transition detailing
  • Property curb appeal improvements
  • Full project coordination and installation management

The Result

Bertog Landscape redesigned the front entry experience with layered perennial gardens, updated planting beds, and a brick walkway that helped organize the space while adding warmth and texture to the property.

The finished landscape features colorful seasonal blooms, structured planting layers, ornamental greenery, and natural transitions that guide movement toward the home. The brick

walkway adds definition and visual contrast while helping connect the architecture of the house to the surrounding gardens.

Special attention was given to balancing seasonal color with long-term plant structure so the property would maintain visual interest throughout the growing season.

The landscape now feels inviting, organized, and thoughtfully designed around the character of the home while creating a stronger first impression from the street.
