i like these hedges.. guess its my style We can certainly include Buxus as either smaller plants like in this photo or a full hedge. Just keep in mind that need to be pruned regularly to maintain their shape and manicured look.

Q

different but good. upkeep? Lavender, hostas (dormant in the winter), black-eyed-Susans, and ornamental grasses are all relatively easy to care for. I believe that the trees are birch. They do well in containers, but will get big.

Q

plants look good These are likely a type of cordyline, which come in many different colors. Some remain bushes while others slowly grow trunks and eventually look like a mini palm tree. They are very easy to care for and require less water. They also give a more tropical look.

Q

Photo

hedges look good Juniper bushes. Do you like the firepit? I was planning to recommend one for the office patio.

Q

i like this look overall Great! Very similar to one of my ideas for the office patio.

Q

Photo

i like the potted plants with the back lights Lavender and ornamental grasses, which both require less water and care

Q

Photo

more the traditional look that could work for greenwich decks I'll include something like this as an option for that deck

Q

Photo

would this work for the south deck? These are Buxus and Olive trees. This would work well for bedroom patio. For the living room patio we probably don't want a gap between the Buxus and olive foliage in order to maximize blockage of the white house.

Q

Photo

these potted plants are cool These are mostly a mixture of lavender and geraniums with two olive trees (all are relatively easy to care for, but will require some pruning from time to time)

Q

Photo

these potted plants may be good for the north decks at greenwich? i'm talking about the globe shaped manicured hedge Yes, Buxus makes great hedges and can be formed into any shape. See my email for more info.

Q

Photo

I like these potted plants These are astilbes (require regular water and shade), dahlias (regular water, dormant in the winter), ivy, and juniper.

Q

Photo

the heaters are great I agree. If you want to replace your standing heaters with wall mounted ones, that will improve the aesthetic, but will also require a contractor / handyman for installation.
