POLL: Favorite outdoor room?
Comments (167)I chose the Garden Style because while the others were lovely, most of us can hope to attain a garden in which we can relax. I especially liked the trellis in the background and the comfortable-looking coach. The Marakesh style had awesome lanterns and wood ceiling, the Alpine had wonderful wood features, Beach Deck had a great view, Americana was charming, Southwestern had a really neat-looking outdoor fireplace, Tropical looked like it could actually take rain, and Nautical had a nice porch so it was a hard choice. ^^...See MorePOLL: Backyard add-on
Comments (184)We have a Pool and all cement except for about a 3' border around the fence. I LOVE it without a lawn. We have an outdoor BBQ and Burner fed off the houses natural gas so, I've never got gas for the BBQ! A table with a propane pit in the center. Looks great, Roasts marshmallows and keeps us warm. Outdoor lighting which I love. It looks much richer than we are at night! Oh, I also have an outdoor shower for the pool but, use it everyday!!! So, what do you want pictures of?...See MoreFruit Trees
Comments (93)We reside in Chicago, but our heart is out west. About ten years ago my husband had a Meyer lemon tree shipped to us. In lives out side from May through October inside through the winter where we enjoy the fragrance of its blooms if you are not familiar think gardenia. We average about 40 lemons a year we do share some while most are used for lemon drop martinis. It is a pleasure to share with the locals that citrus has varieties and for those who are very unfamiliar a band-aid after they encounter a spike. For those who are having trouble growing their lemon trees ours is potted, we use only organic potting soil and citrus food. We did pay more for a larger tree and had lemons the second year....See MoreFront Landscaping/Curb Appeal Help
Comments (7)Had enough comments? No? Here are a few to provoke more comment. a. If you want now to hide the stone, you thought was a good idea from the stone merchant, plant the bed in ground cover, which will cover the stone in a year or two. Pachysandra, vinca minor, english ivy, don't be afraid to mix them up - and spring, summer and fall bulbs to pop up through and add delight. b. the initial problem I see, when standing where the camera is standing, is that you are thinking in detail, small trees, small shrubs. This kind of detail belongs in the back or side yard where you and your family sit and entertain friends and family. If you want this kind of detail with spotty plants in front, put in a front terrace in front of the bedroom wing, to have coffee with your friends and neighbors, and greet your guests. c. bring an entrance walk in from the street to this terrace and to the entrance area and the garden you are developing. d. if you want front planting to enhance the house, which is what your verbage seemed to imply, GO BIG - shade trees, large flowering trees with horizontal branching like dogwood, flowering trees with sculptural branching and light-colored bark like saucer magnolia. Many flowering trees are just ending their blooming period, but their structure and great foliage textures are of equal benefit, as is their winter structure against the walls of your home. Be bold and Enjoy! cascio.offsite@gmail.com...See MoreScott F Smith
