General

"The house was re-landscaped to increase the barrier between the house and the street with lush, but drought tolerant vegetation. The area in the front of the house was mostly natural desert, and beautiful palo verde trees all but hid the house from street view. A meandering hard surface path (without close-by spiney, prickly plants) would be useful for tricycles and skates."
Persons associated with the property include: Marcus Bollinger (landscape architect in 1985 for front yard and 1988 for back yard); Ed Duncan (former owner from 1977 to 1984).
