1508 The Poetry of Outdoor Rooms

An immaculate carpet of zoysia grass is as lush as a fairway. Its bright green hue complements the warmer colors used near the house. The brick walk, laid in a traditional running bond pattern, leads the eye (and guests) right to the steps.Too often, a foreboding hedge of large shrubs obscures the porch. Here, low plantings complement the facade.
