Courtyard Landscaping, Austin, TX

YardDoc

This series of pictures features courtyard landscaping ideas from a group of projects in Austin, TX. They focus on upcycled, repurposed, and permanent containers. In this garden landscape, we build a wooden bench, as an inviting spot to sit and relax in the shade of the tree. The flowering plants we hung from the branches are all in planters of different sizes and of various materials. Just like the plants themselves, they help to add a lot of diversity to a focal point in a garden.

Urn and Fountain Water Feature Ideas for your Austin, Central TX Landscape

Texas Ponds and Water Features, LLC

Urn and fountain Features for your Austin, Central Texas, Houston, Southeast Texas Landscape We offer Urn and Fountain Water Feature Design and Installation in the Austin and Central Texas area including Bastrop, Elgin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Manor, Buda, Lakeway and San Marcos. We also serve the Houston and Southeast Texas area including Rosenberg, Richmond, Katy, Stafford, Missouri City, and Manvel. Urn and fountain Water Features are perfect for smaller areas or places where you're just not looking for a natural looking waterfall. A disappearing water feature can be created using almost any vessel you can imagine. These features are perfect for small courtyards, front yards, or commercial properties where liability is a concern. They are a great way to 'get your feet wet' with water features without the commitment of a pond. We have created fountainscapes using urns, ceramic vases, natural stone columns, even a concrete cowboy boot! The water fills up the vessel and then spills over, disppearing into a bed of decorative gravel. the water is then recirculated through the feature again and again. For more information on urn and fountainscapes, please visit As an added bonus for those of you looking to go in a more 'green' direction, most pondless water features can be used in conjunction with the RainXChange rainwater caturing system. In fact, you can get up to 12 LEED points by incorporating our system into your design. The RainXChange system captures rainwater and stores it underground in a hidden reservior while recirculating it through an urn or fountain feature or even a pondless waterfall. For more information on the RainXChange system, please visit Contact us to get started on your urn or fountain water feature 512-782-8315 or 281-668-4077

Ландшафтный дизайн - Лесной городок

Ландшафтная мастерская Алены Арсеньевой

В данном проекте собственно саду с прогулочной зоной отведено всего 12 соток. БольшАя площадь мощения отведена под зону въезда. Мощение выполнено из бетонной тротуарной плитки на бетонном основании. Саду же осталось не так много места. Кроме того, фома участка, на котором надо было создать сад - почти квадратная, что еще больше зрительно сокращает участок. Кроме того, дальняя от дома - юго-западная часть участка имела выраженное понижение рельефа. Итак, перед нами стояла задача на небольшой площади разместить прогулочный маршрут, русло ручья, большие деревья и много цветников. "Много цветников" - было особое пожелание Заказчика, при этом хотелось сохранить большую, открытую, солнечную территорию, где-то разместив тихое место для отдыха. Вот такая задача на органиченной территории. В результате в проекте ландшафтного дизайна было предложено следующее решение. Прогулочная дорожка из гравия, в Викторианском стиле была проложена с максимальным изгибом, избегая прямых участков, чтобы зрительно увеличить площадь участка. Часть сада у дома - солнечное, открытое пространство с газоном Карлик. Рядом с домом большой, протяженный цветник в английском стиле. Справа и слева от гравийной дорожки расположены цветники, в которых растения подобраны так, что всесь сезон можно наблюдать цветение разных растений. Границы цветников выполнены в виде изыскано прорисованных линий, подчеркивающих динамику движения и зрительно увеличивающих прогулочный маршрут. Граница прилегания цветников к гравийной дорожке выполнена отсыпкой из светлой гальки. Деревья скомпонованы в объемные группы и расположены, в основном, вдоль дальней, западной границы участка. Сад трав расположен вдоль прогулочного маршрута по гравийной дорожке, создавая красивые объемные группы из разных злаковых трав вдоль сухого ручья. Подпорные стенки в нижней части участка, перекрывая зоны "прямого взгляда", создают впечатление глубины участка, иллюзорно расширяя и пространство. Группа шаровидных ив создает укромную зону отдыха в нижней части участка. На это место для отдыха направлено движение воды в ручье. Отсюда же открывается красивый вид на сад трав.

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
