Landscaping“With the landscaping, we wanted lots of flowers. I love hydrangeas, roses, and lavender, so that’s what I put in. We were a bit limited with the oak tree in back. We refrained from putting in grass in the back because of the oak and because we just didn’t want to waste all the water on grass. We have a back porch made of Ipe that we spend a lot of time on, all year, watching the garden and oak change. In the front, we needed to have a path that matched the scale of the house and front porch. We were concerned that the amount of hard-scaping would be overwhelming with the driveway and the front path. So, we chose to have grass stripes break up the path to make it less severe.”
