A small stone patio with fire pit sits next to the water. The stone walkway is carefully used to tie the garden to the residence across the street. This is a unique seaside, low maintenance garden. Drought resistant and salt friendly plantings were used throughout. This garden has become the focus of the neighborhood with many visitors stopping and enjoying what has become a neighborhood landmark. Photo by Ian Gleadle

Lankford Associates Landscape Architects Hi there, chair is stained with Thompsons Bleaching Stain, It seals, preserves and bleaches the wood to a silver beach wood. It also prevents the soot like mold that is common in this area.

added by Genevieve Schmidt to Breeze Into Coastal Landscapes
The weathered wood of this Adirondack chair fits in beautifully with the muted tones of this windswept coastal garden.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: Coastal Garden Style
Add the Finishing TouchesAn Adirondack chair is the classic beach accessory, at home on either coast. Weathered gray is the traditional look, but you can also find them in bright colors and easy-care plastics.
