The right gate, walkway, garden furniture and, of course, plantings can help make the connection

Enclosed but not hemmed in, these modern walkways provide a path between rooms and clear views of the landscape

The right front pathway adds instant curb appeal to your home. Here's how to match the material to the look you want

Gravel, pebble, cobble and paddle: Stones vary in size and shape, and have different uses in the landscape

Give your garden design some textural bam with pebbles, granite, river rocks and other permeable materials

Forget one-note home exteriors. A facade that combines stone and shingle gives houses depth, character and curb appeal
