What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: Coastal Garden Style
A bench set in the middle of a sea of shrubs and grasses is the perfect getaway for relaxing. Again, the weathered gray look blends in with the soft colors around it.
Where natural vistas take the starring role, the landscape needs to complement and frame the view. Try to mimic nature's planting approach, creating harmonious colonies of the same plant to avoid competing with the view.
