There’s a special kind of charm to a yard that doesn’t sit perfectly flat. While a sloped garden might seem like a landscaping headache at first glance, it actually invites one of the most creative playgrounds in outdoor design. Especially in small spaces, slopes add dimension, drama and opportunity for unique layers of living. From […]
When the trees drop their leaves and frost kisses the garden, many yards fall silent, left bare until spring returns. But winter doesn’t have to be an off-season in your landscape.
