Download or read book The Front Garden written by Mary Riley Smith and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2001-02-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The front yard is the stepchild of landscape design, ignored in the current enthusiasm for gardening. Typically, with its high-maintenance lawn and overgrown foundation planting, the front yard doesn't enhance the house or provide useful living space for the homeowner. Yet as new properties become smaller and old ones grow shadier, the front garden may be the best place to grow vegetables or flowers, to sit outside in comfort and privacy, or even to swim or play tennis. Mary Riley Smith, a landscape designer who has often dealt with poorly planned and underused front properties, has filled this book with creative ways to make your own front garden beautiful and functional. She shows how to design paths, driveways, and parking areas and how to camouflage unattractive but necessary structures. For privacy, she describes the different virtues of fences, clipped hedges, and loose, flowing hedgerows. When it comes to planting in front of the house, the choices are surprising: instead of a lawn, you might create a colorful cottage garden, an edible landscape, a drought-tolerant meadow of regional native plants, a sea of ornamental grasses, or even a romantic orchard. All of these landscapes, and dozens more from all parts of the country, are illustrated with beautiful photographs. THE FRONT GARDEN concludes with nine case histories, including the landscape designers' plans, that will give you even more ideas for turning your front yard into a beautiful garden.
Download or read book Making Fences Walls and Hedges Classic Reprint written by William Harold Butterfield and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making Fences, Walls and Hedges Undoubtedly the first use of fences and walls was for protection, primarily against the mighty beast that threatened our earliest ancestors and later to secure the crops and domesticated animals. They helped to stop the encroaching forests and jungles, acted as wind breaks to delicate plants or to habitations and finally served as boundaries to property controlled by the family or community. As the home became an institution and men gathered in favorable locations for mutual protection and social intercourse, the fence acted as a screen or barrier to the private life about the house. All walls and fences, no matter what their use, can be made ornamental and their proper use, however simple, but employed with feeling and discernment for the architecture of the house and for the nature of the land, stamps the property at once with a personal touch.

Download or read book Living Fences written by Ogden Tanner and published by Echo Point Books & Media. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's reasonable to want to make one's home a serene oasis, a safe haven from hustle and bustle of a busy life. Why, then, is it so hard to make such a space a reality? Between street noise, boisterous neighbors, stray animals, wandering pets, headlights, and streetlamps, it is nearly impossible to feel secluded at home these days. High stockade fences and masonry walls can feel austere and uninviting; no one wants to be resented by their neighbors. And zoning laws and building codes mean you might have to inch your way through a maze of red tape before you even break ground. Living fences are the solution. In addition to blocking unsightly views and providing some well-deserved privacy, versatile and graceful screens of living plants are a natural and aesthetically pleasing alternative to man-made fences. In this illustrated guide, celebrated garden and landscape designer Ogden Tanner provides all the information you need to select, plant, and maintain an array hedges, vines, shrubs, and espaliers to create a verdant and relaxing atmosphere around your house. With detailed information on over 100 species of plants, Living Fences is a one-stop manual for beautiful and functional garden design.
