I
love the concept of things that last forever.
Mostly, with the exception of love, an unachievable goal.
A well-designed infinity pool, that extends
the perception of a water environment, is a beautiful thing when sited correctly.
Something we can all love.
I have been fascinated with stone since
childhood. If your garden is more
informal in vibe, nothing could be better than natural stone slab steps, with
lichen and
moss on them, and an abundant planting lining your way.
I always use local stone
that is natural to the area when working with this concept.
Keeping this in mind, your stone selection
will have the feeling of belonging
to its environment.
A garden environment is
designed to evoke emotion and make the observer feel something.
Hopefully something good!
For a soothing, Zen-like
feel try cool colors, blues to purples, accented with white. This combination will always
make us feel
good, and that’s the goal of a well-designed planting.
When choosing container
plantings, consider green.
Ornamental grasses in
grouping make a great big statement and have a beach-casual vibe that’s perfect
for many homes.
Green is a color that we naturally love: grass, trees, shrubs … so go with it!
