The walk gives you a straight shot but is much more interesting with the extra angles on right and left.

Having "stripes" in the walk at consistent spacing of about 20" makes it much easier for someone with PD to gauge steps.
Q
Photo
interesting use of curved walk, straight drive and very little green space. I don't love it but it works better than I thought - probably because the house is also straight and curved.
Q
Photo
Glenn prefers the curved path aesthetically. I think the more angled path is more contemporary and fits with the architecture, what do you think?
Q
Photo
I like the use of the large rock which adds height and texture. Interesting ground cover and the repetition of lavender plus the tall trees is worth considering but it doesn't say WOW.
Q
Photo
I prefer this over the previous photo - like the variety of greens and heights, gravel mulch is fine. This is described as a shade garden so I am not sure it will work for us.
Q
Photo
Nice ambiance created by the lighting, rocks make a nice natural border, and variety of heights, do not want a water feature.
Q
Photo
This rock wall is solid - giving more structure to the raised bed. I find it slightly less natural and less attractive but seems to make sense.
Q
Photo
Interesting option for the tiny backyard - instead of having everything flat, we could raise the beds and then have a wall/seat
Q
Photo
Outdoor fire pit but not particularly this one. . .
Q
Photo
I like the natural appearance, repetition of color and plants with other plants of a variety of heights.
Q
Photo
Very lush garden that is described as Mediterranean! I like a little overlap on the sidewalk BUT this may confuse people with PD - make sure the sidewalk is wide enough.
Q
Photo
Interesting mix - how hard is this to do?
Q
Photo
Described as Mediterranean shade - interesting, it's not what I think of as Mediterranean.
Q

What can we minimally do on the west side of the house? This is an attractive design for a narrow space.
Q
Photo
The doorway without the canopy is an attractive door in the fence. But would it distract too much from the main door?
Q
Photo
Fences are good backdrops for plants and could be used to hide our view of the trash bins of the main house
Q
Photo
Thinking about fences and doors. . .
Q
Photo
Idea for backyard, near master bedroom: a bench and a path among perennials. Could the path be sieved sand (hard surface but more natural in appearance)?
Q
Photo
This seems a little more formal and looks like it would require more tending but I like the variety of elevations and hiding the fence.
Q
Photo
Yes, please include perennial bulbs especially tall and reliable ones such as iris and lilies.
Q
Photo
I keep finding photos of east coast gardens - I definitely wan to embrace drought resistant CA landscape so ignore the plants - I like that I am not looking at a fence, the repetition of color plus variety of greens.
Q
Photo
We are open to mounded flower beds, again good use of a color palette
Q
Photo
The white pot becomes a focal point - look at the next slides

22" high pot currently displayed inside. In CA it could be placed outside.

22" high lidded container. Currently displayed indoors, could be outdoors
Q

Blue ceramic pot, 20 " high, 20" diameter, currently displayed indoors could be used outdoors. I also have a couple of smaller blue pots
Q

Forgive me for my end of season flower photos! Note the 14" brown ceramic pot may fit into the yard. I do like grouping flower pots
Q
Photo
Another end of season flower photo, note large 16" brown pot and the 13" brown pot with Thai designs.
Q
Photo
34" Gong from Myanmar, could be used as focal point in yard or near a door - the grands might have fun announcing their arrival by using the gong
Q

14" ceramic yard landscape sculpture, sweet child comes from my Mom's house
Q

I like the mix of some color among the greens
Q

Too precise and formal but beautiful!
Q

This is very natural and attractive
Q

Not as colorful as the previous slide but this works for me
