    Can you describe the materials (concrete? & gravel?) used in the driveway application. Pros/Cons? - Thanks

    Liquidscapes The concrete bands for vehicular traffic was used for its durability and look. Plus, the site was almost at its limits with overall impervious lot coverage, so this served that purposes as well. Opposed to a solid drive surface. Originally the clients wanted and desired a grass strip, but like my suggestion in using a decorative gravel as the infield, which complimented the tones of the home, along with a nice contrast with the concrete.

    Liquidscapes Not at all, just not very practical in a region that has snow if you need to plow your drive to get out. This is a clients summer home, plus in this case they had no chose due to limits of lot coverage.

    Liquidscapes Most ground covers grow to a height/thickness of 6-10" +, so choose plantings/perennials that will grow above that height. Also, as much as we all love an establish found cover, that also creates cover and natural competition for weeds. It can eventually choke out bulbs and perennials, so you sometimes need to thin out some of that growth to allow the dormant planting to push through.

    Liquidscapes I this particular case, the Myrtle is planted only along the front edge of the bed and the remaining plantings are behind the ground cover.

    desdemille Thanks so much! I'll get someone to clear the groundcover from behind and around the elephant ears, leaving it in front.

    Liquidscapes It was made from scratch for this specific client and project, but I am sure you can find one similar online or made by a local carpenter.

    travelinc Ok, one more thing. I'd make the double column for dining a water feature on the pool side.

    Liquidscapes We originally had the pergola spanning the width of the pool to another set of columns, with a rain curtain over the pool. That came out of the program, along with the grill.

    Liquidscapes The cross beams of this pergola is make of tube aluminum, with a powder coated finish. We went with aluminum to the the span and eliminate maintenance. Typically, the cross beams are pre-designed and pre-cut before installation.
