It is anything but the “dog days of summer” at 7806 Sapphire Valley Rd. the home of Judie and Ridge Stockdale. This front yard proves that any space can appear to be cool and inviting when it is full of color and textures, with a variety of different shade-loving plants. Your eye follows the meandering cobbled path which traverses the yard, passing emerald turf and old oaks. The bordering flower beds are overflowing with impatiens in bright jeweled-toned colors. Tropical palms give the beds that extra height it needs to look stunning.
