#12 Pool Boasts Fun Floats, Flowers

Lavender bushes don’t just enhance the pool’s natural beauty; they also offer a touch of floral fragrance. As the owners kick back on their floats, they can soak up the sweet scent.

#13 Reflecting Pond Surrounded By Plants

Tucked into the far corner of the garden sits a small reflecting pond, with a stone bench at the end for visitors. With tall trees and plants all around, space is both shaded and secluded.

#14 Steps Connect Deck and Tennis Court

For easy access to the tennis court, the landscape architects installed stone steps that lead down from the deck. Thanks to their neutral hues, the stairs also complement the wood railing.

#15 Pink Perennials in Bloom

Pink flowers both brighten the backyard and help the owners keep track of the changing seasons. When the perennials are in bloom, they’ll know that summer is just around the corner.

#16 Plants Protected By Gravel Paths

Hedges, shrubs, and grasses not only add variation to the garden but also make a stunning display of color. Gravel walkways, meanwhile, ensure that the plants are safe from visitors’ wandering feet.

#17 Wood Fence Furthers Country Aesthetic

A wood fence not only separates the meadow from the rest of the home but also furthers the sense of being in the country. Thanks to its earthy hues, the piece pairs beautifully with shrubs and other plants, too.

#18 Trees Offer Touch of Texture

Trees, too, bring visual interest to this beautiful backyard thanks to bark that’s simultaneously red and white. They give the garden even more texture.

#19 Sun Casts Warm Glow on Garden

Wide-open spaces become even more enticing when they’re filled with fresh flowers. From here, you can enjoy views of the grasses and trees, too.

#20 Eclectic Elephant Sculptures

What gorgeous garden would truly be complete without a little art? As these white elephant statues “roam” across the yard, they generate plenty of visual interest.

#21 Side Yard Becomes Strolling Garden

Wanting the home to really speak to its surroundings, you should layer the side yard with gravel walkways, garden beds, and hedges. In turn, this outdoor space feels just as natural as the rest of the property.
