Problem:
The front yard of this property had been dominated by a very large mature Black Walnut tree. When the tree was removed, the property had a very stark appearance. The roots of the tree had not been removed so there was genuine concern that the Juglone toxins may still be lurking in the area where the tree had been standing.

Our solution:
An open Arbor, in the same style as the smaller front verandah was designed to cover the area where the Black Walnut tree had stood. The base was of flagstone. All plant materials chosen were known to be Juglone resistant. A flagstone path tied the arbor to the residence. A gazing globe on a pedestal was the focal point in the centre of the arbor.

Problem:
The Juglone had also affected the grass in the area of the Blue Spruce at left.

Our Solution:
The grass was removed and replaced with very low growing carpet junipers of the same colour as the Blue Spruce.
