Wall and planters minus the wood - weavers66
We were able to adapt the space to create a welcoming and inviting environment with a few simple changes. Having removed the large circular table and benches, the circular area was filled with an off-cut of faux grass (found on ebay) which freed up the space. The grey brick wall has been covered with wooden feather board cladding and trellising which has been painted in a stone colour and a variety of new and colourful plants and small trees have been introduced to soften the look. The addition of the mirror on the right side, reflects light and gives the illusion of extra space.
Like warm stone colours and round lawn - webuser_507343310
Using a refined palette of quality materials set within a striking and elegant design, the space provides a restful and sophisticated urban garden for a professional couple to be enjoyed both in the daytime and after dark. The use of corten is complimented by the bold treatment of black in the decking, bespoke screen and pergola.

Biophilic
Being close to water is also hugely beneficial for our mental and physical health, and an ongoing, pan-European research project, BlueHealth, led by the University of Exeter, is looking into this more closely.
Of course, we can’t all live near an ocean, river or lake, but by incorporating a water feature into your outdoor space, you can still enjoy its restorative effects. If space is tight, there are plenty of alternatives to a pond, such as a water bowl and rill like this. - brissarthe
This tired, unused San Francisco backyard was transformed into a modern, low-maintenance landscape with site-appropriate plantings enhanced by raised planting beds and a lead-free artificial lawn to replace the existing water-thirsty lawn. I created two separate "rooms" to break up the long narrow yard, and specified full range blue stone for the two small patio areas, connected by a curved pattern of rectangular pavers of the same natural stone. The raised concrete rectangular planting beds were incorporated to bring more movement and interest to the landscape along with gravel bed accents alongside. Some of the existing concrete remained, and was stained with a color to compliment the natural stone. These photos were taken over a three year period.

I love the planting in this garden and how the paving has been done. Also love the textures and the straight lines - webuser_922490810

Not sure if we want a pastel coloured fence - petegaskell11
In Seattle's Fremont neighborhood SCJ Studio designed a new landscape to surround and set off a contemporary home by Coates Design Architects. The narrow spaces around the tall home needed structure and organization, and a thoughtful approach to layout and space programming. A concrete patio was installed with a Paloform Bento gas fire feature surrounded by lush, northwest planting. A horizontal board cedar fence provides privacy from the street and creates the cozy feeling of an outdoor room among the trees. LED low-voltage lighting by Kichler Lighting adds night-time warmth .

Maybe put a focal point on gate. Morrow, wall ornament. Maybe have interchangeable focal point in front of gate like a fallen pot spilling out flowers. So the interest can keep changing with the season. - karen_hines59
