Create Architectural Garden Accents

These Pacific Northwestern gardeners have created a lush oasis with a decidedly architectural feel.

Patio
 

Create Flow

The Andersons did a great job of creating flow in their Washington landscape. Here, a meandering lawn draws the eye to a colorful patio right off the house.

Test Garden Tip: Lush plantings help soften the patio and create a transition from it to the lawn. Use taller plants to help conceal part of your patio and add a sense of mystery to your yard. This is not only visually interesting, but it will also help your yard feel larger.
