Once Upon a Porch Project Wins Landscaping Gold Award in Glen Ellyn

Bolingbrook, IL (PRWEB) May 06, 2011

Spring is here – or least the calendar says it is. As warmer weather beckons folks back outside, there’s no better place to gather and watch the world go by than on a fashionable front porch.

Fronting a home with fairy tale cottage curbside appeal, an enchanting porch in Glen Ellyn recently won the Illinois Landscaping Contractor Association’s [ILCA] Gold Award. Designed and constructed by Hursthouse Landscape Architects and Contractors , “Once Upon a Front Porch” is a storybook landscape project that casts a spell on everyone who passes by and enters the home. Hursthouse is an award-winning landscape architecture and contracting firm with clients in the Chicago area, throughout Illinois and around the Midwest.

Built in 1928, the home’s former entryway did not match the home’s historical character. A narrow walk led up to a few stairs with handrails to a petite landing area. Construction and materials clashed with the home and there was no connection between the driveway and the entryway.
