These are actual residential landscape projects completed by Willits Nursery. The photographs show the original conditions and the changes made, from removing overgrown planting to installing a fresh landscape that suits the home.
The original landscape had become difficult to manage. The next step was to begin again with a new plan.
BEFORE
The original plantings had become overgrown and difficult to manage around the home. This view shows the condition of the landscape before the renovation work began.
WORK UNDERWAY
Work is underway as the earlier planting is cleared and the area is prepared for a new approach. This photograph documents a stage in the process, not the finished result.
Replacing a builder’s landscape package
The homeowner wanted something different from the original builder-installed landscape. New planting gave the entrance a fresh appearance.
BEFORE
The homeowner wanted a different look from the original builder-installed landscaping. The existing planting provided a starting point for a more carefully planned arrangement.
AFTER
New plantings give the home a fresh, more cohesive appearance. The updated landscape creates a more intentional setting for the house.
A more deliberate planting arrangement
An assortment of plants was replaced with a more organized landscape.
BEFORE
The original planting was a collection of shrubs without a clear overall arrangement. These existing beds offered an opportunity to organize the landscape more thoughtfully.
AFTER
A new arrangement of plantings gives the home a more organized landscape. The finished work brings greater structure to an area that previously lacked a clear design.
Bringing an older landscape back into scale
Overgrown plantings were replaced with a refreshed landscape suited to the house.
BEFORE
Mature shrubs had become overgrown and outdated around the home. The landscape needed a fresh approach with plantings better suited to the scale of the house.
AFTER
New plantings refresh the foundation beds and create a landscape more in scale with the house. The updated arrangement gives the exterior a cleaner, more balanced appearance.
Restoring the area around a rear deck
Plants surrounding the deck had become overgrown. The completed work reopened and refreshed the area.
BEFORE
The plantings surrounding the rear deck had become crowded and overgrown. This view shows the condition of the area before its landscape restoration.
AFTER
The landscape around the deck has been renewed, replacing the overgrown appearance with a more open arrangement. The finished work gives this outdoor area a cleaner, refreshed setting.
Making a new deck more useful
The homeowner wanted better access on and off the new deck, a lower-maintenance landscape, and some screening toward the adjoining property.
BEFORE
The homeowner wanted easier access on and off a new deck, a lower-maintenance landscape, and screening toward a neighboring property. This photograph shows the area before the requested improvements.
AFTER
The completed project addresses the homeowner’s requests for deck access, easier landscape maintenance, and screening toward the neighboring property. The finished planting brings those practical needs together.
A complete landscape restoration
A landscape that had become outdated and crowded was restored with new plantings.
BEFORE
The original plantings had become overgrown and outdated, with the landscape appearing crowded around the home. This photograph records the condition before the restoration began.

Another view of the restoration
A second view of the original planting and the finished result.
BEFORE
A second view shows how crowded and outdated the original landscaping had become. It provides another angle for comparing the property before and after the restoration.
AFTER
This additional photograph shows the completed restoration from a different angle. The refreshed plantings carry the new landscape arrangement across the area shown in the earlier view.
A natural-stone approach
Natural stone pavers can improve the approach to an entrance as part of a landscape project.
Natural stone pavers were used to enhance the approach to the home’s entrance. The paving gives the route toward the door more definition and complements the surrounding landscape.
