SHADY RESIDENTIAL
A Home on a Corner Lot in LaGrange
|
THE PROBLEM: The enclosed front porch, while being nice looking, still gives the owners the feeling of being indoors. |
 |
 |
THE SOLUTION: The front yard has been turned into a cozy sanctuary by adding shade-loving native plants and a bench which the owners use to let them connect with the neighborhood. |
|
The front yard faces north, is fairly shaded, but everything here grows well. |
 |
 |
An attractive-looking native plant garden on the shady side of the house. |
|
This relatively inexpensive bench take advantage of the shade on the north side of the house. It sits on a "patio" of pine bark nugget mulch. The material used for this purpose is very suitable, easy to use, looks good and is affordable. |
 |
 |
The English Ivy climbing up the west wall was left alone. A short wall of cut granite blocks makes a border at the edge of the garden near the sidewalk. |
