A high screen was needed for the second story rooms in back, as was a play yard for the young children.    In front they wanted to claim some space, without creating an “unfriendly” wall of green.  I saw the need to reduce the street’s glare at their front door, but they didn’t want an impenetrable wall of plants.    Drought tolerant plantings were chosen for a partial screen along the front southern exposure.  The planting design provided precisely for what the clients wished.
