This garden is enjoyed from a sitting porch and a wonderful place to watch butterflies and hummingbirds.

A vintage wooden ladder serves as a trellis for a honeysuckle vine.

The sitting porch is a favorite spot for the homeowners to sip their morning coffee. Hummingbirds are seen up close as they love the honeysuckle vine that climbs the vintage wooden ladder.

These old fashioned roses allready looked great on either side of the walkway and now they perfectly frame in the arbor.

A recirculating fountain is the focal point of this perennial garden.

A splashing rain chain adds interest on a dreary day.

An outdated entry way. The weeping cherry is outgrowing its spot and becoming a maintenance issue. The home owners original intent was to screen the view of parked cars in the driveway while sitting on the front porch.

After plants were removed everything was rototilled and the soil amended with compost.

A ceramic urn is fitted with a recurculating pump. The top has a wire basket filled with aquatic plants. The fountain head is threaded right through the basket. River rock is placed at the base to give the water a place to splash down into the reservoir. Screen is used over the basin to keep mulch...

Gone are the globe arborvitae that were unatractive in front of the porch. This opens up opportunities for new plantings.

An obelisk with vines and a climbing rose were unsuccessful at hiding the septic vent pipe. We can fix that.

Nobody will miss this thing that looks like an oil derrick.

Faux rock will hide the pipe.
