landscaping
Narrow pergola
Pergola
put gravel where grass usually goes, and grass on the outlying areas

could put up wrought iron fencing panels with a gate in back corner
nasturiums would probably grow well in that back corner
could add an open gate and plant in front as well as at the back of it. create the illusion of going into a courtyard
a wrought iron gate could stand alone as a backdrop to plants for interest
trellis over the doors
instead of an arbour with posts, we could install one over the doors
this trellis would add interest without causing shade in the corner spot
more garden detail
a lantern could also add architectural detail
simple garden ornaments could also add architectural interest
back corner of yard could use a simple architectural feature such as a fence panel
i like how the path winds and the plantings also help to obscure the view at the top. this creates interest and draws you in
i love japanese forest grass
large gravel path could work as a french drain. use medium sized rocks as border/retainer wall for grass and plant small ornamental grasses among the rocks
hmm... a water treatment against the out building. what would this look like with the shed?
build an arbor or pergola over the shed doorway to create a focal point from the house/patio
what about a switching/winding stone pathway from lower patio to upper grass. lots of plantings among the stones could attract birds and butterflies
beautiful perrenial planting possibilities with this stone path
building a half-wall to create a room for the butterfly garden
if stones are used as a border to the lawn, the same stones could work for a mini-waterfall
stones with grass between serves as a nice transition to border plantings
maybe stepping stones could substitute for french drain idea
stone border between grass and plantings
stones around the perimeter of the grass with grass between could be a good low maintenance option
use of stones/rocks for path instead of cement or pavers
use of stone as a border for path continues the look of the patio without overdoing it
good use of ferns as a border planting
stone and brick together to combine the paver design in front with the drainage needs
stone and landscape combine well for steps and could work with planters
blue plants would compliment the many plantings of daylilies
plantings in front of stone planters
love the astilbe with dark green foliage
don't know where this would fit but I like how the path leads you to the next garden area.
