Local conditions
Rain, rock and slope
The North Shore gets considerably more rain than areas south of the inlet, and many lots are steep with rock close to the surface. Managing runoff, building solid walls and keeping water away from foundations come up again and again.
Big trees bring shade, needles and roots. Lawns are often replaced with terraced beds, gravel, decks or moss-friendly gardens.
