Wood
The gracefully flaring entry walk creates a sense of drama and elegance for a newly constructed home in Glen Ellyn. The small multi-stemmed tree in the background is Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry (Amelanchier X 'Autumn Brilliance') Premium shredded hardwood bark mulch gives the freshly planted beds a finished appearance and will reduce maintenance by conserving moisture and keeping weed seed from germinating.
The bright blue/green material is a treated excelsior blanket. It's used to restore the turf and acts as a mulch, protecting grass seed from birds, erosion and moisture loss..
