The space was cleared of mature evergreens to create an outdoor living area for the parents with a clear view of a new play area with padded turf for the little ones. (The kids couldn't quite wait until the turf was laid to jump in)

Cedar Trellis

New cedar trellises create privacy while feeling connected to this beautiful, historic neighbourhood.
