Craftsman Rustic & Native Plants
A before and after image. The before image shows a tiny dilapidated garage from the 1920s or 1930s that is now too small for cars. The entire side yard, which used to be the driveway, is paved with asphalt. The after image shows the garage, which has been rebuilt into a cabana with large sliding glass doors and a bar. A stepping stone walkway of large irregular flagstones leads up to the front door of the cabana, which retains its traditional Craftsman feel. Mosses and low plants including wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) have been planted in between the cracks of the walkway. A new trellis will provide separation from the neighbors once the vines grow larger.
