How to Choose a Design Direction: Before/After

You know what to do, below, of course?  Extreme rustic requires extreme

formal, below.  Contrast is one of the sharpest arrows in your quiver.

Of course an allee was needed between the Chicken Coop & Long Barn toward the Pole Barn.

For added formality Crape Myrtle standards were chosen along with espaliered sasanquas, below.

 Not quite before/after pics, pairs of urns not sited correctly and another 2 years of maturity needed.

Path is wide enough to set up small round dinner tables during parties or a harvest table with twinkle lites in the Crape Myrtle canopy.

Are you doing this?  Design your garden to enjoy in the fullness of life.
