For each landscape design I ask for a mission statement. Often a single mission statement is enough, sometimes one for the
front yard & another for the backyard. Ha, some of you need several. Don't think you're hiding from me.

CHICK's mission statement:
"Create an outdoor living space that will not be an extension of my home but where my home will be an extension of my garden!" TRACTOR CHICK chose her home for its lot. For the landscape. The backyard is incredible.
A few challenges in the
front yard. Driveways & garages drawing attention away from the focal point of the front door.
.
I haven't drawn this plan yet but I already know round downspouts are needed, an arbor over the double garage wrapping around the corner and Bahama shutters, below, on the bare wall between the double garage & single garage.
.
Why have the arbor and Bahama shutters? Softness, depth, asymmetry and creating the illusion that living space is balanced on each side of the home.
