The house sits up on a slight hill and
is set back from the street, so Marcia
didn’t want a traditional walkway.
She added a wide terraced entrance,
with large precast concrete steppers,
then softened the house with large
sweeps of natural grasses, boxwood,
and Japanese maples.
Marcia says, “The lot had natural
elevation changes of about four feet
from the back of the house to the
street, and there were a lot of drainage
issues directed toward the house. We
terraced the property to help with the
drainage and to create interest.”
