VIEW FROM THE STREET

The front entrance is always what you first see before you come into your home as plants die or grow out of bounds. Replace them as needed with shrubs, ground covers and flowers for neat but interesting appearance.

VIEW FROM INDOORS

Most people look out at their yard more often than they actually go there. The views of your kids playing, birds bathing in a fountain or the shadows casting over the mountains can lift up your spirits. Consider framing your windows with plant colors that blend and complement your inner décor colors to give you a feeling of continuation.

SERVICE AREA VIEWS

Combine clotheslines, dog runs, compost piles, propane tanks, storage sheds where they are most convenient. Then camouflage with fencing, shrubs and vines.

ROOMS ONTO GARDENS VIEWS

Patios, decks, pools, outdoor kitchens expand and enhance your living space. Use sheltering fences and plantings for privacy, relax in sweet-scented seclusion, maybe pick an apple from a tree, snip some rosemary for the meal you are preparing, or simply entertain in elegance.
