A garden of friendly spaces: a new look for the front yard offers a warm greeting to the neighborhood

Article Abstract:

A makeover by garden designers Tom Mannion and Louise Kane of Arlington, VA, transformed a once forlorn front yard into an attractive and welcoming space. While the designers retained several of the garden's elements such as a large apple tree, a brick walk and a driveway, they also added brick edging to the lawn, a garden bench and a flagstone terrace.
