Backyard Landscaping Ideas & Designs

Design ideas for a mid-sized asian drought-tolerant backyard gravel landscaping in Philadelphia.

Several months after planting, the formal outline of the garden is softened by lush plantings, while perennials greet visitors and entice pollinators and beneficial insects.

A good garden keeps the critters out while allowing easy access when you want to go grab a few cherry tomatoes or head of lettuce. All of our gardens are fully enclosed with attractive fencing and have at least one gate for convenient entrance. Other great features include raised beds filled with nutrient rich organic soil, weed-controlled isles covered with quality pea gravel, and all-natural (untreated) lumber.

A large ceramic vase with beautiful glazing serves as a centerpiece to this garden bed. The installation included an AquaBox that turns a static vase into a water fountain that adds subtle motion and calming sounds to this garden.

Our "classic" gardens include raised beds filled with nutrient rich organic soil, cedar post, rails, and caps, space efficient layout, animal resistant fencing w/ground barrier, a secure latching gate, and a "window box" featuring beautiful animal-detering flowers and herbs. A great garden for those who want the best!

Design ideas for a large traditional partial sun backyard gravel formal garden in San Diego for spring.

This Poway backyard was transformed into a true stay-at-home resort. The centerpiece is a stunning modern pool and spa featuring a large baja shelf, custom decking, and a raised spillway spa that creates the relaxing sound of cascading water. At night, the space glows with custom LED lighting and fire features, creating a resort ambiance right at home. Surrounding the pool, open lounge areas, a custom outdoor kitchen, and layered lush landscaping make this the ultimate space for entertaining or unwinding.

This dry river bed not only add interest to the back yard, it helps retain the grade. Lots of four season planting interest make this fun to look at form the window any time of the year.
