How do I landscape around a townhouse patio that is 12' x 25' ? Right now there is nothing but a concrete patio.
Answers:
1Think container gardening, but here's some ideas.....
Pay attention to where the sun shines in your patio area. If you would like to have box gardens, or a small patch of grass, plan to have them in the areas that receive consistent amounts of sunlight. After all, they will need sunlight to thrive.
If you are planning for a fence, remember to plan the fence height and location not to interfere with your garden plans. A fountain or small waterfall will add a luxurious and exotic feel to your patio. Running water helps obscure outside noises and creates a relaxing atmosphere, especially if you are in an urban area or have noisy neighbors. There is nothing more pleasant than enjoying a meal on your patio, and the sound of murmuring water will complete this experience. So make sure you design an area large enough for a table and a few chairs. If you are very limited on space, built-in planters with wide borders offer a place to sit for buffets and casual gatherings.
