End of the Drive, Start of the Meadow

Overgrown junipers out, native meadow in, flagstone path through — the entrance to a Jackson Hole backyard reset from scratch.

Terrain · Summer 2025

A driveway’s edge becomes the start of the yard, not the back of it.

A lilac bush and a wall of overgrown junipers were the first thing anyone saw pulling up. Not anymore. Lazar and the crew cleared it all out, converted the whole lawn to native sod, and laid a flagstone pathway leading to the backyard shed. A second phase is already underway — demolishing an old stone-and-railroad-tie staircase behind the house for a cleaner, safer entry.

Before Decades of juniper overgrowth at the end of a driveway. A lilac taking up the corner. The yard read tired before you got out of the car.
The Clearing Junipers and lilac pulled out. Roots dug, hauled, disposed. The ground prepped for what was coming next.
Native Sod + Flagstone Whole lawn swapped to native meadow sod. Flagstone path stepped through from drive to shed, set on compacted base.
Phase Two (Underway) Back of the property — an old stone-and-railroad-tie staircase being demolished and replaced with a proper entry to the backyard.
“The first 20 feet of a driveway is the first impression of the house. Get that right and everything after feels considered.” — Vergiliu Lazar, General Manager, Terrain
