Garden Projects: The DIY West Jefferson Garden

The “After” Photo!

We love a good DIY Project!

Our client came to us in March with tons of garden problems: the raised beds were falling apart, plants weren't producing because of a black walnut nearby, and the garden wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as the family wanted. They struggled with knowing what to plant, and when to plant it, and how to make the garden more apart of their routine.

The consultation was a blast, and we dreamed up a beautiful garden design that would fit their family’s needs and help them grow plenty of food, too.

The “Before!”

The garden design featured tall cedar raised beds, brick-colored flagstone steppers to match their beautiful brick home, added clear pathways, and featured symmetry and beauty.

The best part?

Our client built this garden himself.

Yup. Rather than have us do the full installation, we crafted a customized DIY-Garden Guide that gave clear instructions on how to build and assemble the brand-new garden and raised beds, where to source products like soil and gravel, and how to plant his garden for the summer.

If we didn’t design the garden and followed their progress every step of the way, we’d hardly believe it was the same space.

Next, they’ll be adding a large arch trellis in between the two largest beds for climbing crops like tomatoes and cucumbers to climb on and a deer fence to protect their bounty from critters!

We couldn’t be more proud!
