Design ideas for a huge contemporary full sun hillside stone landscaping in Denver.

This is an example of a small transitional full sun backyard mulch landscaping in Raleigh for spring.

Location: Cohasset, MA, United States This elegant property has gorgeous views of the harbor, with sweeping stone walls that create a terraced effect. Since the house was a warm beige, I felt a bold red would really bring it to life, mixed with burgundy foliage and big, dramatic grasses. Solomon's seal looks great with natural stone behind and Gallium Sweet Woodruff below. A bit of Gold Heart Bleeding Heart brightens is all up.

The Chartreuse Bleeding Heart shines among the creeping phlox Emerald Blue and Lamium Purple Dragon. Later the variegated Iris will take over the show when it blooms in June.

With a narrow driveway and leaning concrete retaining walls, parking was a major challenge at this 1938 brick Tudor on Spokane's South Hill. Crumbling concrete stairs added another layer of difficulty, and after a particularly rough winter, the homeowners were ready for a change. The failing concrete walls were replaced with stacked boulders, which created space for a new, wider driveway. Natural stone steps offer access to the backyard, while the new front stairs and sidewalk provide a safe route to the front door. The original iron railings were preserved and modified to be reused with the new stairs.

This photo, also taken in late May shows the creeping phlox and Jacob's ladder in bloom. as well as the Solomon's Seal (which is actually variegated and technically non-native - Oh Well). I love the shape of the Pagoda dogwood on the other side of the path. There is a great bottlebrush buckeye (Aesculus parviflora to the right of the dogwood starting to fully leaf out. You can see a summer wine ninebark in the far right of the photo.
