| WASHINGTON, DC - A small rear yard visually
divided into two sections. The smaller section is a space that is a long
and narrow strip leading to the alley. The other is the main yard off
the rear of the house. The goals were to develop the maximum amount of
usable patio space and to visually unite the space. A bold diagonal low
wall ending in a masonry pier punctuated by a decorative urn draws the
viewers eye beyond the awkward dogleg. A lattice fence was incorporated
around the property's boundaries to eliminate the clutter of neighbors
inherited fences.It also acts as a vbehicle to train climbing vines and
roses. An all white flowering plant pallet was selected to simplify and
to add a brightness to the partially shaded garden. |
