Looking up the new driveway towards the street. 'Green Giant' Arborvitae screen the neighbor's property from view and will mature to conceal the utility lines overhead. Boulders found on site were utilized to make walls for a larger parking area. Photo by Susan Sotera

Design ideas for a traditional front yard landscaping in Chicago.

This sloped hillside has been transformed into a beautiful tapestry of colors and textures present in every season. I specified drought tolerant plants and shrubs that are low-water, low maintenance and deer resistant. Located in Novato, CA - Marin County. Some photos were taken just after installation and others 2 couple of years later.

The pool setting is surrounded with gardens. Here, the diving end is flanked by sentinels of Feather Reed Grasses. Elegant, easy-care. Credit: Tad Anderson. All rights exclusively reserved.

The design brief for this garden was to create an inviting entry with a woodland feel that would complement the home's earthy color scheme and thoughtful architectural details. Majestic Sequoia sempervirens 'Aptos Blue' (Aptos Blue Coastal Redwood), with its pendant deep blue-green branches, shields the expanded porch from the afternoon sun. Selected for its ability to look good in sun or shade, Carex divulsa (Berkeley sedge) makes a lush ground cover, weaving through the trees and along the new slate walk. In fall, muhlenbergia capillaris explodes with feathery pink plumes. Photos by Martin Cox Photography.
