T'Dal ideas
It can be hard to imagine a steep and irregular slope as desirable, usable garden space. In reality, and with the right treatment, sloped yards offer some of the best opportunities to take advantage of a view, add a water feature or create more outdoor living space. These 3 landscape designs sit on sloping properties. While the designers faced slightly different challenges with each project, they all implemented creative solutions that showcase how great a landscape with some lean can be.
The house is a U shape, with the main wing (containing the public spaces) on one side, the bedroom wing on the other side and a courtyard in the middle. The large cathedral windows in the living room on the left and the master bedroom on the right face the best view. The shape of the house and exterior wood siding help the home blend into the scenery.
Front Yard The entry sets the tone for a modern landscape: Colors are kept restrained, the number of plants used is limited, and forms are well-defined. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the entryway garden, which features three types of ornamental grasses planted in bands along the pathway and clipped turfgrass. Chinese silvergrass, the tallest, acts as a shimmering screen for the gravel parking lot. Variegated sedge and prairie dropseed border the walkway of bluestone pavers leading up to the home.
