A surprising variety of plants provides a great deal of interest in the relatively small front yard. Ornamental trees, hydrangea, boxwood, hosta, coneflower, liatris, daisy, phlox and pachysandra surround the porch and lawn for a softly defined boundary. Photography by Linda Oyama Bryan

Redefining landscape products since 1989, Techo-Bloc recently launched www.techo-bloc.com, which is designed to inspire both homeowners and professionals.

Location: Hingham, MA, USA This newly constructed home in Hingham, MA was designed to openly embrace the seashore landscape surrounding it. The front entrance has a relaxed elegance with a classic plant theme of boxwood, hydrangea and grasses. The back opens to beautiful views of the harbor, with a terraced patio running the length of the house. The infinity pool blends seamlessly with the water landscape and splashes over the wall into the weir below. Planting beds break up the expanse of paving and soften the outdoor living spaces. The sculpture, made by a personal friend of the family, creates a stunning focal point with the open sky and sea behind. One side of the property was densely planted with large Spruce, Juniper and Birch on top of a 7' berm to provide instant privacy. Hokonechloa grass weaves its way around Annabelle Hydrangeas and Flower Carpet Roses. The other side had an existing stone stairway which was enhanced with a grove of Birch, hydrangea and Hakone grass. The Limelight Tree Hydrangeas and Boxwood offer a fresh welcome, while the Miscanthus grasses add a casual touch. The Stone wall and patio create a resting spot between rounds of tennis. The granite steps in the lawn allow for a comfortable transition up a steeper slope.

Design ideas for a coastal full sun backyard landscaping in Boston.

The Opulence, an ever trending rectangle pool with a custom sundeck in the shallow end provides ample space for children and adults to cool off while still catching sun rays. (The steps and sundeck span the width of the pool). This pool is enclosed with a symmetrical patio and surrounded by vibrant plant life. In addition this yard boasts a pool house with a pergola. As outdoor living is becoming a must have for New Jersey homeowners, this yard has multiple relaxing and lounging zones complementing the center of it all, the inground swimming pool.
