Houston is known as the
Bayou City and there are
many homes along the
ravines that feed into Buffalo
Bayou. The opportunity to
design and install
landscaping and stone
around a contemporary
home on a ravine lot in
Houston’s upscale
neighborhood of Memorial
greatly appealed to Mike.
This home at one time belonged to billionaire J. Howard Marshall II when
he lived in Houston and was rearing his young children . . . long before his
marriage to Anna Nicole Smith. The home is now owned by Art and Carla
Economos.

The steps leading to the house were enhanced with the removal of timber
risers between the steps and replaced with split-face Hackett rock and fresh
granite. Also, the brick leading along the side of the steps was cleaned.

THE COMPLETED PROJECT
The yard of this lovely home in Houston's Shepherd Park Plaza subdivision
was in dire need of new landscaping. Green Thumb spent several days on
the project and the results added a whole new dimension to the home's
exterior, complimented with new shrubs and flowers
.
