Crazy for cool plants
Two
Patios
Front Design
In front of their house, the clients wanted a vegetable garden. We chose to build two raised beds in the corner, and install a stone path through the garden with plantings all around. Espalier apple trees will line the fence, and a bird bath sits in the middle.
Front Install
After the boxes are built, the stone path installed, and the bird bath placed. Organic compost has been added to amend the soil, and next contractors will place irrigation.
Front Planting
Against the house, a simple planting of small and medium shrubs with contrasting leaves.
Back Design
In the back, the clients wanted space for entertaining, privacy from the neighbors, and simple but fun plantings.
Back Install
Here the lawn is torn out, and the team is prepping to lay the stone for the back patio.
Back Patio
The back patio is finished. A path leads to the gate on the side of the house.
Back Patio
We additionally built a round seating area in the corner. We'll plant vines on the fence, and shrubs around the circle to make it feel lush and surrounded.
After
One year later, this view is the entry to the back garden from the side gate. The privacy trees have grown in well, and Hydrangea 'Annabelle' blooms profuselly underneath.
After
The back patio has Thyme planted in the cracks. A dwarf Ginkgo tree sits in the blue pot.
