Landscaping
Nikko Blue mophead hydrangeas
Like the statue edged with boxwood
Like the Japanese forest grass
Idea for steps in the middle of the retaining walls to go behind the driveway
Steps
Cut stone blocks--not sure I like the look. Note that the groundcover is mazus reptans
Big slabs are pretty square but I like the rougher look rather than the perfectly cut look
Nice use of this look of steps with grass between
stairs with stone risers and flat tops. Note that its just a few steps; not sure how this would look on our curved stairs
Fieldstone risers with blue stone treads
These treads look like our cut limestone treads
steps
Nice steps
same patio but from different angle
Interesting patio and steps--brick with flagstone border and steps. Planters are also brick with flagstone tops
Looks like the tops could be cut limestone treads. I like the stone risers rather than solid limestone treads.
Pink muhlygrass
Nice lanterns
like the stone slab steps. Post says they're Dakota Stone Slabs, from the Midwest.
Like these limestone slabs, but I think it's because they have irregular fronts
nice look of flagstone steps with brick risers
Nice gates
Nice steps
Steps in lawn
use of boulders
brick and flagstone. This is similar to the circle at our front walk
Cobblestones look nice as a border
Flowers inside boxwood hedge
Wow. I love the curvy boxwood hedges on the inside.
The pattern of this brick walkway looks really nice.
boxwood hedge and tree in front of house
They call this an allee with boxwood hedges and trees. Also statues in the boxwood.
Plan shows a pergola beside the driveway. An arch could also look good. What about a stone arch like Jay and Lorraine's?
The grass is Japanese forest grass
