Deck of the Week: Pergola-Covered With a Pass-Through Window

Q

Have intended something like this for over 20 years....

Q

Photo

Love the circles!!!! design flows easily, and the repetition of the circle in the topiaried shrubs makes the garden feel whole.

Q

Photo

love the inclusion of swings on one side

Q

Photo

this feeling... but accessible for my wheelchair when I need it

Q

Photo

pergola-like screen, slightly irregular flagstone edge. unlike bricks, the way these flagstones are laid out might be okay for wheelchair and would be even enough for walkers and crutches

Q

Photo

convert orchard ground over to mostly wildflowers

Q

Photo

need a bug-free space as a destination in the far back; a similar spot without screens would be lovely between the orchard and kitchen garden

Q

Photo

Love the wild freedom this garden evokes. Also would be water-wise!

Q

Photo

Lighting to accessory structure. Low to ground so easy to see path!

Q

Photo

The mondo grasses when they fill in will be just gorgeous!

Q

Photo

I have always wanted a folly in the back!

Q

Photo

Possible screen/gate for back yard paths?

Q

Photo
Photo
Photo
Photo

Meandering path makes distance seem longer and would facilitate creating vignettes in hidden corners

Q

Photo

I like the look of the gray path with bark mulch. It would be logical for our normally acidic soils.

Q

Photo

I LOVE This... simple, elegant. Would it work for a wheelchair, or would pavers be needed?

Q

Photo

Mixed border. The large hydrangeas would be lovely in a few spots...

Q

Photo

Love the large boulder anchoring the patio/path

Q

Photo

Solar panels on roof...

Q

Photo
Photo
Photo

For the area off the dining room...

Q

Photo

Could we make something like this but proportional to the small terrace?

Q

Photo

Something like this would be lovely, but needs level, regular steps to be safe with crutches.

Q

Photo

Alternative idea for back yard near patio.

Perfect “vibe” - fencing, plantings, etc.

Q

Photo

Tree house!

Q

Photo

This is the kind of arbor/gate I dream of for the back yard from the patio to the woods.

Q

Photo

This white garden makes me swoon... romantic, simple, elegant but informal

Q

Photo

Uplights

Q

Photo

Everything...

Q

Photo
Photo

Pavers... for woods in back?

Q

Photo
Photo

Far back? A sort of folly perhaps, a brick path from out of nowhere, going nowhere, but perfect for a summer afternoon.

Q

Photo

Wonder if we could build something like this for a three-season room off the dining room?

Q

Photo

For outside the bedroom. Perfect.

Q

Photo

Perhaps for a quiet corner?

Q

Photo

Everything here speaks to me!

Q

Photo
Photo

Terracing for drop off?

Q

Photo

Dry streambed

Q

Photo

Winding path could go forever, or end just beyond the curve; barying heights of plants.

Q

Photo

Adapt for side yard/dog run?

Q

Photo

Could adapt this look for the side yard or walk tonthe wellhouse.

Q

Photo

Bookshelves!!!!

Q

Photo

For the area off the patio maybe?

Q

Photo
Photo

Slab stones for steps. Maybe get some tenino sandstone?

Q

Photo

See how the retaining wall holds the lavender up for maximum scent and texture by the walkway.

Q

Photo

Summer house?

Q

Photo

fire pit and seating
