Moss Garden: A Living Carpet of Tranquility A moss garden is a serene, low-maintenance landscape feature that evokes a profound sense of calm and natural beauty. Composed of vibrant, velvety mosses that thrive in shaded, humid environments, these gardens offer a soft, carpet-like groundcover that replaces traditional lawns or gravel with rich, green texture. At Westland Design, our moss gardens are thoughtfully integrated into the overall landscape to enhance a feeling of timelessness and stillness. Whether nestled beneath the canopy of trees, edging a stone pathway, or surrounding a tranquil water feature, moss brings subtle movement and color to quiet corners of the garden. Key qualities of a moss garden include: Evergreen softness: Moss provides lush, year-round greenery that requires no mowing or fertilizing. Quiet beauty: It absorbs sound, contributing to a peaceful, contemplative environment. Natural elegance: Ideal for Japanese-style gardens or woodland settings, moss complements stone, water, and wood elements with organic harmony. A moss garden is more than a design choice—it’s an invitation to slow down, observe closely, and appreciate nature’s quiet elegance.

This visionary homeowner found an idyllic property surrounded by gorgeous pastoral views, fertile soil perfect for a Truffle farm, and an easy distance to downtown Corvallis, Oregon. What was not ideal, however, was the existing house. Built in the 1980’s, this ranch had some undesirably unique features that were not at all the style that our client was imagining for her dream farmhouse. She came to us with the challenge of transforming this dated ranch into a classic southern style farmhouse complete with covered porches and wood burning fireplaces. She had dreams of hosting large parties as well as intimate family gatherings, requiring a modern open concept layout alongside more secluded areas, all while preserving the traditional aesthetic that she desired. Having lived in a wide variety of homes around the country, there were some features this homeowner knew she wanted to incorporate into this major rebuild. We thoughtfully considered how to include those elements in the design while addressing several structural challenges, remaining within budget, and creating a final product that would be both stunning and practical. Historic trim work, white oak flooring, and warm white walls provide the ideal backdrop for showcasing her treasured heirloom rugs and artwork. Incorporating numerous windows on every exterior wall possible, we were able to maximize natural light, and access panoramic views of the countryside, while allowing the fresh air to breeze through. Multiple sets of French doors lead onto the expansive front veranda that wraps around the main living room. This deep, full-length porch is an inviting, shady spot to enjoy the outdoors. The combination of these design features provided the framework to capture the vision she had for her home.

CONTAINER PLANTS do very well on balconies, if fertilized and watered appropriately. They may need additional water due to evaporation from wind, and if there is a hot microclimate on a S or SW-facing balcony. The style and assortment of containers can be bohemian mix-and-match, or it can be carefully coordinated. The important feature is that each container must have drainage holes, and that there be no standing water in any saucers - it's best to have flow-through casters so the water flows onto the balcony floor and down through the drainpipes. Mosquitoes will breed in any standing water, even if the volume is only that of an upturned soft drink or beer cap.

After struggling with fertility issues for years, this lovely family couple had a surprise announcement for their family and invited Alane Beard Design to help them make it. The result is this refreshing nursery with soft hues and natural elements.

This ground-level, wide-angle photograph captures a premium residential artificial grass installation in Tucson, Arizona, designed and completed by Az Custom Landscapes LLC. The project showcases a clean and vibrant outdoor living solution designed to thrive in the desert heat while dramatically lowering water usage. The focal point is a lush, high-density synthetic turf lawn featuring a striking, custom-curved layout. The entire lawn is meticulously framed by a flush, red brick paver border that follows the sweeping organic lines of the landscape, creating a beautiful visual transition between the vibrant green turf and the surrounding decorative river rock and native plantings. Running parallel to the synthetic grass is a covered backyard patio supported by classic Southwestern stucco pillars. This mud-free, pet-friendly turf integration seamlessly expands the home's usable outdoor entertainment space, providing a perfectly manicured lawn year-round without the need for mowing, fertilizing, or traditional irrigation.

Fall-blooming wildflowers and grasses add color and texture to this Florida yard. Since the plants used are native to this environment, they require no fertilizer or irrigation, and they provide food and shelter to birds, butterflies, and other wildlife.
