Can i landscape all around my patio? Does there need to be a way of getting off the patio to get into the yard?

Walter Reeves on Apr 02, 2012I was mowing a lawn yesterday and thanking the designer for making an unobtrusive way to get the mower across the lined sidewalk without cutting it off. Yes, design a way to get from patio to yard. Perhaps a single stepping stone would be enough.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Apr 03, 2012I agree that there should be a way to get from patio to yard. After all, don't you want to encourage people to explore your yard, not view it from behind a velvet rope, as you would a room in museum?Helpful Reply

Erica Glasener on Apr 03, 2012Christina, a few steps down or a dry stack wall can make a big impact. I like the look of this patio (you could create your own version)Helpful Reply

Erica Glasener on Apr 04, 2012Christina, I know what you mean but honestly even a small amount of hardscape can get you off to a good start. My garden is only 6 years young but I started with a short granite wall to define it. It's true it is an expense but one I plan to make only once and it should last for years. Enjoy working on and in your garden.Helpful Reply
