Front Porch Living Before & After

The LCD Team recently completed an exterior facade renovation here in the South Bay. A home that was once hidden behind shrubbery was transformed into a beautifully open front yard oasis. The design goal was to be create a front porch lifestyle. This would allow the homeowners to chat with neighbors walking by, enjoy the tranquil ocean view, as well as the beautiful South Bay sunsets. For before and after photos, scroll below!

The side moon garden is filled with white flowering plants that attract native birds and butterflies. It’s a quaint corner to relax and read!
