Just like conventional grass in a garden, grass that is part of a driveway needs to be regularly maintained. Regular mowing to the desired length is essential to keep weeds at bay. We love this lower level view of this driveway-it really adds consistency to this property. For more amazing ideas, visit Dargan.com

Design ideas for a mid-sized traditional partial sun backyard stone formal garden in Portland for spring.

This is a modern take on a classic garden. The paving was designed with precision and then softened with lush planting. Two distinct spaces, a dining area and lounging spot, are delineated with herringbone pavers and linked by a flagstone walk. The walk takes the edge of the design’s geometry and avoids a sense of monotony that might result from repetition of the larger spaces’ paving pattern. Star jasmine and climbing roses soften the walls bordering the space, and citrus trees and herbs fill and spill over the planting beds. Photo by Martin Cox

This gorgeous wide plank antique Oak is our most requested floor! With dramatic widths ranging from 6 to 12 inches (14 inches in some cases), you can easily bring an old-world charm into your home. This product comes to you completely pre-finished and ready to install. We start by hand sanding the surface, beveling the edges ever so slightly, and being careful to preserve the historical integrity of the planks. Typically, about 80% of your flooring will be "Smooth" with the remaining 20% having a slight texture from the original saw kerfs. This material will also have nail holes, knots, and checks which only adds to the unique character. Next, we apply Waterlox, a tung oil based sealant with or without stain added. Finally, 3 coats of Vermont Polywhey finish are added with a hand buffing between coats. The result is a luxurious satiny finish that you can only get from Historic Flooring!

Inspiration for a timeless home design remodel in Cleveland

Front lawn was treated, weeded, leveled and hedged the area where new vegetation was to be placed. We choose a variety of burgundy color plants to play contrast with the blue walls. We used against the front wall Black Vanish hedge (arbusto Mosaico Vino); Breynia Nivosa (arbusto Nevado Rosa); Dianella Tasmanica, a variety of sun resistant bromeliads. The area was flanked by a adult 6 ft. Dracaena marginata ‘Tricolor’ and two Cordyline'' sp. 'pink integrity' – leaves and also an adult 6 ft tall Rutacea Murraya Paniculata Mirto (Café de la India)

This crazy six-headed Pilea family has been living in this relatively shallow pot for a couple of years. They are never exposed to direct sunlight, but do get bright daylight all the time in the living room. This keeps the plant healthy, as you can see on the thick dark green leaves.
