Design 101 - Visual Interest for your Dormant Outdoor Space


Great outdoor spaces retain their visual interest as summer plantings fade.
As fall transitions into winter, brilliant foliage that dominated summertime outdoor spaces disappears. Exceptional outdoor spaces always unveil a new layer of visual interest as the seasons change.
Statuary, landscape, garden walls and structures that had taken a back seat to summers vegetation once again become the focal point of a well designed landscape.
The imaginative melding of living and inanimate points of visual interest appear almost magically as needed in an exceptional outdoor space.
