I have a landscape architect friend who recommended this person. I think he is overqualified for what I need but wanted to share this lovely work. I find the photos not only beautiful but soothing.

The photos are stunning, every one of them! I hope you use this person for your real estate photos, Mtn, as they would make a truly wonderful book of memories about the beautiful place where your children grew up. What lovely Christmas present such a book would be to your three,

Oh, wow, stunning! Every one of them.

Why can’t this be my backyard? ::sigh::

This would take a LOT of work to keep up!

Thank you for sharing, so much beautiful.

Looks like Virginia Creeper ( Parthenocissus quinquefolia) by the leaves. Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) has ivy shaped leaves. they're both nice, but invasive as hell. My neighbour planted some Virginia creeper on our shared fence about five years ago and for the past two years I've been trying to get rid of it on my side - it gets into my pots in the summer and generally takes over. A place up the street had to do some extensive work around the windows and roof a few years ago because some Boston Ivy had damaged the wood and water had been getting in. I wouldn't put it anywhere near a house - just in case. Take a look at Parthenocissus henryana, aka Silvervein Creeper. Supposedly it is not as invasive as the other two but it still has the beautiful fall colour and has nicer leaves during the summer (in my opinion anyway). It might not be hardy in an exposed location though - we're kind of at the northern end of its possible range :-( BP

The paint 'difference' is due to time of day. In the first picture, the wall is in full sun and the second is in full shade. It also looks like the camera may have been on auto filtering, so it adjusted it's exposure between the two pictures due to the change in lighting. So it almost looks like the wall was painted. (I had to do a double take myself.)

In this mix of flowers and craziness there are small fruit trees, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, peppers, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, beans, potatoes, watermelons, and a full assortment of tea herbs(I think in the range of 30 different things I use in tea). At this point, I am clipping calendula blossoms and chamomile each day, I'm eating lots of fresh vegetables, and regularly drying culinary and tea herbs for later use. In other parts of the yard I grow more herbs, and have a variety of other tree and bush fruits growing, but all of it is fairly new since we've only been at this location a couple of years. I've focused about all of my effort on building good soil, and this year it is already paying off.

Our lawn is all brown in a circle around our favorite maple tree so we can see how the tree is sucking up the water. I have one vegetable bed that is too close even though it's beyong the drip line so I will put it back to lawn next spring. It was also out of the way to get watered. We had a good amount of rain - at least 1 1/2" I think. We also have a high water table so that might be helping. The front of our property is boggy and can usually only be mowed in August. A seasonal stream runs through it with enough moisture to grow cat tails. I agree that I think the soil structure changes. I think it's pretty much like a hanging pot that's left to go too dry. When you water it, the water just rushes through. Except for one perennial bed, mine get some shade for at least a few hours each day. I have a wash tub of impatiens next to the barn door on the east side of the barn. I tend to forget about them so they rarely get watered and only have had one time when they looked thirsty. But the potted annuals including a rail planter on the east side of the house really suffered from neglect. My morning duty is to fill two gallon jugs with water for the pots on the kitchen porch and to use the short hose to water what I can reach. The vegetable beds get an hour from an oscillating sprinkler every few days. I was surprised that impatiens seem to tolerate drier conditions while verbena uses any excuse to die. Marigolds and petunias in a large pot near the faucet get plenty of water and sun. The nearby planter with just one petunia (need to check variety) needs a lot of water every day or it sulks. The herb garden never gets watered but it gets a little shade in the morning.

That was just what I needed with my coffee this morning. I see some new plants to add to my tamed meadow garden.

Interesting that at the front of the house they show the big snowball hydrangeas underplanted with what looks to be goat's beard. Even if it was white astilbe, both need shade. I have pretty much decided to plant two of those snowball hydrangeas along my driveway for their visual effect, but supposedly they need sun. But that's confusing to me because I very often see them in photos and they appear to be thriving in shade . . . My driveway has southern exposure, so it will be mottled shade between two small trees, not dense shade. I guess it could be called "partial shade." Wondering if that's the secret. I guess only one way to find out for sure is to plant them. Not quite there yet in my landscape plan, I have a few steps ahead of this. It might happen this fall.

This is a great example of the difference between landscaping and garden design, it has a whole aesthetic and all the parts fit together. One would have lots of plant choice options that fit into the design. I would say that the overall scheme is very important, but the problem is finding someone who can do that on a small scale. Same with interior decorating. You often need to be steered in the right direction to fit into your overall vision and aesthetic, and not everyone is good at that. Some designers seek to fit you into a cookie cutter of set elements. This landscape architect had an eye for integrating the soft and hardscape elements very effectively.

I really love this one - of course way beyond my own abilities or inclination. Imagine the maintenance...

Pink,

It is not one particular landscape architect's work; this is a photographer that specializes in that arena. I think most of my hydrangeas here and in Maine are in full sun. We have a few varieties. They grow very well for us in partial shade too though.

BTW one thing i noticed is the lack of color. Shades of green, white, and blue or purple only. This is precisely what I tell my gardening people here and in Maine! I feel vindicated.

Love that photo of the stairs next to the pool. What a clever idea to use grass as the tread.

Even though all the landscape plant elements will bloom or show some color or another at some time of the year, you really need to focus on form, growing conditions and the color green because that is going to be your foundation much of the time. At least in a northern climate! In fact, a good portion of the time will be brown, not green! A landscape that works for all four seasons is not easy . . .

I pinkmountain - I agree about the difficulty of a four season landscape. Our garden is 30 years old, and we are in the process of rehabilitating some of it. But outside of our living room windows we have a lovely weeping crab that has flowers in the spring, small fruit in the late summer that stays on when the leaves fall. The birds love it, and then when it snows the weeping branches catch the snow. It's lovely.

And out of our dining room window, we have a mature contorted filbert that is also remarkable in the winter time. We thought it was dying, so we cut the dead parts of it, kept some and advertised "free" on our community facebook page and stacked branches of it at the end of our driveway. They disappeared pretty fast. We thought it was a goner. Lo and behold, last spring it started making a comeback and has lots of new growth.

Pink, both Aruncus (goat's beard) and astilbe are more feathery than the white flower near the hydrangea. Might be Veronica? Hard to tell-can't blow it up enough to get a really good look.

Beautiful photography and the landscaping looks almost effortless and in several shots looks very naturalized. Lovely work.

The white flower looked like astilbe to me but it was hard to see the leaves.
