The main idea of the design was providing the beautiful view from the house and turning the garden into beautiful, recreational space.
Simple, both modern and classic style garden is divided into 2 areas:
- dining area with bistro set (table, chairs) and a wooden bench and a barbecue
- relaxation area with a hammock (with a stand) around the existing tree
Horizontal lines and smooth arcs of the design are used to change proportions of the garden, to make it look larger, wider, as well as bright surfaces colors that make it brighter. All the plants are shade tolerant. We used small shrubs, perennials, decorative grasses, hostas and ferns, many of them are evergreen or decorative all year round.
Most of the plants are planted in containers or retaining walls or raised bed gardens. There's also a small gravel and stone garden with some small groundcover plants.
New fence with a solid gate and a wire with honeysuckle vine provide privacy from outside.
