Landscaping Ideas for a Sloped Front Yard

2012 MNLA Design Award Winner

Janet says, “Why would we want a cabin?” and Paul added, “This has been our getaway.” The couple spends mornings in the front yard with coffee and a newspaper and will often enjoy a beer by the fire in the evening.

Natural Stone and Paver Patios Give Plenty of Space for Entertaining

This Apple Valley project won a 2012 Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association award. When the designer first saw the home, he knew he had his work cut out for him. The outside space was a disaster with a back deck and the small slab patio underneath.

There were a few other issues: Trees and shrubs engulfed the front of the home, making it dark and uninviting. The back yard was sliding downhill and away from the home. Steep grade along the sides of the home made any kind of landscaping impossible. No access from front to the back patio other than through the house.
