Front yard design with concrete walkways and sitting wall in Temecula McCabe's Landscape Construction
Front yard design with courtyard and walkways in Temecula McCabe's Landscape Construction

This large front yard lacked curb appeal, much to the home owner’s frustration. After putting in strolling pathways, new green grass, and a sitting wall to create a front courtyard with a little extra seating, they are happy to come pull into their driveway every day. The colored concrete ribbons added to the driveway made it more comfortable to get out of the car too!

Natural Grass

Sod is still one of the fastest ways to add green to a landscape. At McCabe’s Landscape, we offer an all-season grass called Fescue.

Courtyard Wall with Brick Facing

Building this simple wall created a front courtyard that functions like a private retreat for the home owners. Facing it with brick to match the existing garage pillars tied the new element into the existing space.

Classy Retaining Wall to Create More Space

Before we began this project, there was a too-small patio, a dead lawn and a slope that didn’t wow!

The brand-new retaining wall created more living…

Outdoor Entertaining in a Compact Space

This is compact yard in Roripaugh Ranch featured a colored and stamped concrete patio that extended the existing California Room. A low sitting wall (18″ tall) was built to create a cozy feel and create additional seating for parties and gatherings.
