Your Garden Is An Extension of Your Home

Enhance the Beauty & Outdoor Entertainment

Our home is our sanctuary, a great looking garden can not only enhance the beauty of a home, but can also be a great source of enjoyment. No landscaper knows better than you what your family wants and needs in your garden. Take into consideration the architecture of your home, shade structures, fencing, as well as your family's lifestyle. Study your plot from all angles and vantage points before you begin. Get to know your soil type and the path of the sun. Think of your garden as an extension of your home. When creating your garden, consider what views of your garden you will see from inside of your home.
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.

Retreats and Outdoor Rooms

Take your indoor activities outside by creating an outdoor room. An outdoor room is a place in your garden where you can do all the things you do in winter, such as entertain, read, eat, relax but under the big, blue sky instead. If your backyard does not have a solid covered patio or its too small, consider hanging shade sails to enjoy your garden in the warmer months of the year.
