Cottage

View of patio just after planting. The patio is a reinforced concrete round with mortared red clay brick. At the center is an antique granite millstone.

Plantings set the mood for a relaxed outdoor break.

Without the expense of replacing the entire concrete walk, we were able to vastly improve it by installing a clay brick border.

Roses and edible plants can be worked into ornamental perennials.

The client’s wish for a very full, lush ‘Cottage’ look is fullfilled.

Iris and lilies work nicely for relaxed country planting, a hallmark of the Cottage style.
