What Houzz contributors are saying:
Hedges were trimmed, plants were clipped and bricks were put back in place.
This is a traditional, axial plan, where the fountain is the folly and focal point.

I personally would love a work space tucked back in this "mediterranean retreat." A hearty rustic table and simple vintage metal cafe chairs would fit my own fancy. Room enough on the table of course for that portable tea service.
There's something Old World about herringbone; it's an easy way to imbue a bit of stateliness to a project.
