Comments (38)Thyme, sage, oregano, lavender would all enjoy the same conditions as the rosemary and are all perennial sub shrubs. Oreganum dictamnus is a particularly nice plant as is Origanum ’Kent Beauty’. You only really needed to plant one rosemary in that space. Depending on the cultivar it can grow to 4 - 5 ft wide and 3 - 4 ft high. Since you have three you’ll need to keep them pruned if you want them to stay within bounds. For perennials Cistus and Helianthemums would love that sunny spot....See MoreNeed Help with Design / Landscaping Ideas for near 1.5 acre backyard!
Comments (8)Ideas/considerations for when you talk with a real landscape architect: - how much gardening and of what kind are you/your wife wanting to do? Flowers, veggies, easy-care shrubbery? - how much lawn do you want to manicure and mow every week (personally I'd minimize the lawn, maximize your lovely woodland and natural meadow space). - if you can get electric to the hangar, do it. - cohesive yard: maybe a three-rail wood fence (backed with wire to contain pets) around the whole perimeter. If you do a fence, remember to include gates at strategic places wide enough for mowers, carts, etc. - any DIY skills or inclination? - dogs: You look like you're out in the country a bit, and big barky dogs are not a bad thing to have near the house. I like having a doggie door to give dogs access any time they want to their own dog run (an area maybe 6' wide by 15' long, fenced with 5 or 6' tall chain link). That way they can go in and out by themselves, and be contained in an area that you know is safe and escape-proof (deer, rabbits, and squirrels are such fun to chase). A normal fence can surround any other area you want them to play in while you're able to keep a closer eye on them. Not sure any of this was of help, but good luck anyhow....See MoreDESIGN IDEAS NEEDED!!!! Florida Backyard Blank Canvas!

Comments (2)1.) maybe cream white vs. white-white, as the roof seems more brown than black. In your photo, the left side looks to be on a hill and designing for that is way above my pay grade, as is said. :) On right side , or wherever it is flat , is where I;d lay a patio with overhead. French or sliding doors would repce the approprate window....See Moreyas Vi
