lower dimond craftsman
This 1925 Craftsman was sold in 2020. Presale prep included removing the paved front yard and adding sod. The new owners turned the sod, sheet mulched, added a fence and begin adding color and life to the front and back yards. Raised beds for vegetables and espaliered fruit trees went in first, with subsequent years of sheet mulching and soil prep. The site is ready for native landscaping in 2024. All work overseen by Verge Landscapes.
