What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Vanessa Brunner to 4 Steps to the Perfect Garden
Adding a focal point at the end of your garden will automatically draw the eye in that direction, visually lengthening the space. Interchanging a section of the fence with this stone wall and bright shutters provides a functional focal point. The windows in the wall let light in, making sure that the wall doesn't completely block the view beyond. A fountain, urn, or statuette at the end of a garden would serve a similar use.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: English-Style Gardens
You can also create your own ruins. A slightly crumbling wall (designed with safety in mind) can add dimension without overwhelming the space. In this case, it also serves as a backdrop for a "secret" garden — and what could be more English-inspired than that?
