Garden Design by Space

Backyards are the most flexible canvas in residential garden design. Privacy on multiple sides means you can run the layout however the family actually uses the space, kids' lawn at one end, dining area in the middle, planted retreat at the back.

A dedicated garden, distinct from a multi-use backyard, is designed primarily around the plants and the experience of walking through them. Paths, focal points, and seasonal interest do more work than furniture.

Patios are the bridge between indoor and outdoor living. The right paving, layout, and planting around the edges turn a slab of concrete into the most-used room in the house during half the year.

The front yard is curb appeal. It is also the first thing you see arriving home, every day. A well-designed front yard does both jobs without becoming a high-maintenance burden.

Courtyards trade space for intimacy. The enclosure on multiple sides creates a sheltered microclimate, lets you grow plants that struggle elsewhere, and turns every surface, walls included, into design opportunity.

Terraces, elevated patios, often with a view, bring their own design challenges: wind exposure, weight limits, and a foreground that has to compete with whatever is on the horizon.

Balcony gardens are the most constrained format but also the most rewarding when they work. Vertical planting, container choice, and ruthless editing turn even a 4×8 foot space into a usable outdoor room.

Decks add warmth and texture that paved patios cannot match. The wood itself is half the design, the planting, furniture, and lighting work around it rather than on top of it.

Side yards are the most overlooked space in most properties. Done well they become a useful passage with planted interest; done badly they collect bins, hoses, and dead grass.
