I always love a variety of materials in a walkway

Q

Photo
Photo

Pea gravel patio area

Q

Photo

Pea gravel walk and mulch on one side and grass on the other

Q

Photo

Love all the plans... Is this too classical for our ranch?

Q

Photo

Walk materials and pattern

Q

Photo

Near-perfect replica of the spacing and setting I imagine for our patio and space between houses.

Q

Photo

Really like the the low-lying plants and the spacing of them; the simple and slim path is about as big as we could install anyway

Q

Photo

Good example of mid-century landscaping for the Midwest (though this is in New York).

Q

Photo

Clean and simple; similar elements to our vegetable beds.

Q

Photo

I appreciate that this private area doesn't have the super clean lines that many west coast landscape photos have. This look should go over well for us.

Q

Photo

nice contrast with small, mixed rocks with larger, smooth stones; all the grasses are have great color, too

Q

Photo

Want to use similar size stones in patio and garden

Q

Photo

This would be nice privacy for the back patio

Q

Photo

Very good bones and elements

Q

Photo

Sleek pergola, clean cement lines, simple landscaping

Q

Photo

love the evergreen

Q

Photo
Photo

Cool chairs, look comfy

Q

Photo

This is so us.

Q

Photo

Nice plants. Nice color for window trim.

Q

Photo

Wouldn't mind this kind of setting near patio

Q

Photo

Mix of brick, flagstone, gravel, and mulch

Q

Photo

Cool fence

Q

Photo

Beautiful flowers

Q

Photo

Pine needle mulch and lush color of ferns

Q

Photo

Everything if it can be done in Illinois

Q

Photo

Like the color and design of the pergola

Q

Photo

Like the ground cover and pavers

Q

Photo

Modern look with organic lines

Q

Photo

Rarely find red brick homes on this website

Q

Photo

Bamboo for privacy and cement pavers with pebbles for walkway

Q

Photo

Minus the cushiony seating, very close to a perfect layout for mid century modern home

Q

Photo

Especially like the pebble mix along the walkway

Q

Photo

Walkway materials are functional yet organic

Q

Photo

Side yard?

Q

Photo

Great inspiration for this summer's landscaping projects

Q

Photo

California-esque... Can we mimic the garden's surroundings here in Illinois?

Q

Photo

Would be a nice private patio off of master bedroom

Q

Photo

In my dreams

Q

Photo

hey-o... can you say guest house where the current neighbors' house is?

Q

Photo

huge slabs for walkway along back of house; I wish our walkway was bigger along the house

Q

Photo

this is the kind of space I'd add to our house/backyard if we can buy the house next to us

Q

Photo

pea gravel patio

Q

Photo

horizontal lattice/fence and pea gravel
