Wide Open Expanses

This is a photo of the front of our house. Note the absence of courtyard wall and gate. We're amazed by how much space there is now all the bushes and walls are gone. In fact it's a shame that the house isn't a few feet further forward on the lot. Anyway, the Landscape Designer thought it would be a good idea to have all that removed so we could get a better sense of the space and so be able to decide on what hardscaping we want at the front.
