is deck under arbor concrete? - is there a concrete patio under the arbor, or is it a wooded deck? I would like to use the concrete in that area but I'm concerned about water run-off from the roof onto the concrete. »

Kingbird Design LLC The low-growing white flowers are Snow-In-Summer, Cerastium tomentosum. Is that the plant to which you are referring?

sherisue Exactly the one I was referring to. Thank you. I love the look.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Frank Organ to Shape and Pattern Set Gardens' Tone
Using Simple Geometric ShapesThe type of pattern you use as the basis of your garden plan will depend on its suitability to the site, considering levels, views and the style of the building that the garden will adjoin. The simplest of all shapes in garden design is the square or rectangle, as house walls and boundaries usually suggest a 90-degree pattern. The use of a single type of shape produces a sense of movement. In this design, it moves our eyes through the garden to the front door.
