Round 1: The Front Planting Bed

We asked you to choose a theme for the circular planter bed in the driveway. You overwhelmingly chose a tropical theme with palms and colorful bird-of-paradise plants. Take a look at the before pictures again.

Round 1: Statue in the Front Planting Bed

In the front planting bed we are building a water feature, complete with a custom statue. We asked you to vote on which native animal should the statue depict? You picked the cougar over the bear.

Round 1: Light Posts

We asked you to decide between a stucco finish or stone facade for the entryway light posts. You selected the natural stone. Take a look at the front of the house again.

Round 1: Portico Collumns

You must like natural stone because you chose it over using redwood for the portico columns.

Round 1: Pergola Style

When we asked you which type of pergola should we build, you voted for the draped Roman-style instead of the traditional style. Check out where the pergola will be built.

Round : Patio Surface

For the patio area, pavers won hands-down over stained concrete.

Round 1: Retaining Wall

When it came to the retaining wall, natural stone won again, this time it beat out upcycled concrete.

Round 1: Lawn Shape

For the grassy play area, you selected a kidney-shaped lawn over a rectangular lawn. See what the barren lawn looks like now.

Round 1: Bench Seating

For the outdoor seating, you voted on using upcycled concrete instead of wood.
