The yard of this recently built home still showed the mark of the builder’s hand: In front, no connection between front porch and driveway; foundation plantings poorly chosen. In back, a token tree tucked in a corner; otherwise, nothing but a large expanse of lawn. A sweeping, wide stone path now leads from street and driveway to the front entry. In back, a stone patio offset from the deck provides a charming destination surrounded by plantings.
