Site Analysis
This Boulder, Colorado remodel needed to direct water away from the home’s foundation. The landscape design needed to be both functional and pleasing to the eye. We incorporated channel drains, walls, and materials that have a dual function to direct water but also appeal to the updated look of the home.
