The modern house with wood and stone elements features large hydrangeas, short boxwood hedges, and decorative grasses, creating curving shapes and a vibrant, changing palette throughout the season.
Modern and Minimal, Yet Colorful
The white cottage with aqua trim is complemented by small shrubs, desert-friendly perennials, and a mature tree, creating a simple yet striking look that harmonizes with the house's trim.
Clean Cottage Style
The front patio and walkway, bordered by colorful perennials in garden beds and container plantings on the stairs, create a well-defined and inviting entry experience, even with an extensive lawn.
Define the Space
Landscaping design can be as simple or as complex as you want. One easy way to have landscaping that lasts through four seasons is simply to plant evergreen shrubs. These low-growing boxwoods only need occasional trimming.
Keep It Simple and Evergreen
The row of colorful perennials, including echinacea, day lilies, daisies, and phlox in various shades, set against a black metal fence and arbor vitae hedge, allows for endless color combinations and seasonal interest.
Include Ever-Changing Perennial Color
The low, modern house with a straight walkway is enhanced by untrimmed shrubs, spiky evergreen trees, day lilies, and mature trees, combining angular architectural lines with organic plant shapes for a balanced look.
Organic Shapes and Balance
Sometimes figural sculpture in the garden can look overdone with too many pieces. The "stone" birdbath here (actually made of lighter resin) balances the small figurines placed throughout this compact Florida garden. Well-placed pavers and natural rocks and stones complete the natural cottage look.
