AGING IN PLACE

This landscape project transforms a backyard into a safe, functional, and beautiful space designed for aging in place. The design centers around accessible trough-style raised planters at comfortable heights for easy edible gardening without bending, filled with vegetables, herbs, and compact fruit trees to promote healthy eating and gentle activity. A spacious new shed provides ample storage for gardening tools and outdoor equipment, reducing clutter and minimizing trip hazards, while strategic lighting throughout the yard illuminates pathways, seating areas, and garden features to ensure safety during evening hours, with motion-activated lights near the house for additional security.

We had to do quite a bit of concrete remediation. Replacing some slabs and grinding down others to create smooth walking and rolling surfaces. We also installed hand rails where needed.
