What Houzz contributors are saying:
11. Courtyard Landscapes are deserving of checkers as well. This design complements the contemporary structure of the home.
Create Design CohesionIn contemporary gardens it can be important to reflect the style of adjacent buildings. It is here where geometric shapes, such as squares, can come into play.This highly geometric building is complemented by its checkerboard garden. The angular lines in the windows and metalwork are echoed in the long, paved walkway and alternating squares of baby's tears (Soleirolia soleirolii) and pebbles.

checkered grass and gravel design is not only pleasing to the eye, it also playfully reminds me of a video game. I also adore the stairwell- brilliant way to enter a basement or lower floor of a sloped property!
