Native Plant Install for New Front Porch in Catonsville, MD

Our client in Catonsville, MD, reached out after getting a new front porch installed. They wanted new native plant garden beds on both sides of the front walkway that enhanced their front entrance and complimented the new front porch!

In the process of installing the front porch their front yard was torn up and created a perfect opportunity to install new garden beds. The client was looking for native plants to attract and support our local ecosystem while also enhancing the curb appeal. 

To meet the client’s goals, we focused on incorporating native plants that bloom throughout the growing season and are host plants for pollinators, along with some of their favorite native plants from their wish list.

As a result, the client now enjoys a stunning front yard that they can appreciate for years to come while also supporting pollinators. Today, the home’s front garden beds bring nature to the doorstep, offering a harmonious blend of form and function.
