This compact corner lot was transformed from a decrepit brick patio and failing lawn to a lush, intimate space for dining and relaxation. With a soothing color palette of only green and white, the plantings offer an incredible variety of textures and seasonal blooms. The paving complements the plantings with warm hues that coordinate with the remaining brick walkway. Laying out the spaces on the diagonal improves views from indoors and out, and creates the illusion of added space in the yard.
