We transformed this flood prone property with smart, sustainable landscaping solutions. Limestone retaining walls in the backyard redirect water away from the house, while a French drain system channels excess water safely to the front yard. To address the steep grade in front, we installed another limestone wall accompanied by a small planting bed and a new walkway, replacing the original sidewalk with a fresh entry path. This redesign by Barley Pfeiffer Architects not only enhances the home’s curb appeal but also provides essential flood protection that blends function with beauty.
