Drainage & Design in Sparta

This Sparta homeowner needed a solution for persistent drainage issues and a front yard that lacked curb appeal. We installed a French drain to direct water away from the foundation, then introduced a palette of deer-resistant, low-maintenance plants that thrive in shade.

With moody tones and rich textures from hellebores, evergreen ferns, and Hakonechloa grass, the new design adds structure and year-round interest. The result is a refined, layered garden that solves a functional problem while dramatically elevating the home’s first impression.
