Pitching in at the Model Bungalow


Christy Webber Landscapes latest pro-bono project was to design, source all materials and install the landscaping at the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association's model green bungalow. This home is part of the HCBA's fifth Green Bungalow Block and is located in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood.

This project is exciting because it showcases the bungalow, a trademark of Chicago's residential architecture, and it also provides others in the neighborhood the opportunity to get grants of up to $5000 for energy efficiency projects for their own homes.

Our landscape design incorporated zone appropriate perennials, permeable paving and other sustainable elements (like a fruit tree!).

I'm including some before and after photos so you can see the transformation!
