Shrub Appeal

Modern Curves

This sketch was designed for a client during a Onsite Consultation.  The client is an avid DIYer and did not need a full design package.  


The curving lines in this garden were inspired by the elegant yet casual lines of the client’s interior.  One challenge in this design was balancing the difference in architecture on the left and right side of the front walk.  I wanted the garden beds to connect even through their shapes were very different.  I used curving lines to visually “flow” the beds across the sidewalk. 

The color scheme is defined by shades of green and soft whites, which provides a fresh contrast to the client's lovely deep charcoal siding.  

The combination of flowing grasses, bouncy hydrangea blooms, and rounded evergreens blends modern tastes with a classical romance style.
