This is an example of a small traditional shade courtyard stone garden path in Chicago for spring.

This section of the garden was intensely planted to control and slow water run off from the neighbor's drive. Vinca ground cover and Liriope edger plants fill this area at the back wall of the house. Neither of these are natives, but they do a good job of slowing & controlling heavy water flow from my neighbor's drive.

A neglected backyard in deep shade needed a redesign. Clean and usable garden was built full of shade tolerant perennials and shrubs. As this garden will mature in years to come it will provide owners with lush vegetation and plenty of room to entertain and play.

We began this project with the idea of making a friendly entryway and social area under the Mulberry tree which provides much needed shade in this hot, mountainous area. The 'red fescue' meadow grass has a cooling effect and the agaves reduce the need for excess water and maintenance. The backyard has a covered dining area with a corner lounge and fireplace. The large barbecue offers a cantilevered counter for entertaining. The waterfall into the pool is surrounded with bamboo and plantings that emulate the hillside beyond the property. The permeable paving and mix of Vitex and Olive trees provide shade for smaller seating areas to enjoy the variety of succulents throughout the garden

A coated wire tuteur was added to this urn to fill the vertical space and planted with a porcelain berry - an extremely invasive plant if put in the ground. Bronze-leaved wax begonias grow around the base with golden moneywort spilling over the sides.

When we think of gardens, often the first thing we think of is beauty. Beautiful flowers, textures and foliage woven together to form a beautiful tapestry. They say beauty is in the eye of beholder, our designs are personalized to include what’s beautiful to each client’s eye.

Wake Robbin Trillium is a slow growing ephemeral - only is out above grade from April to July, when it gets hot here, it retreats below ground. Strange brown colored blooms.
