Picture Perfect

This small front yard off of 11th Avenue proves that you can create a masterpiece with a little space. There are 5 different levels of plant height in this yard beginning with a dark green hedge, down to a slightly lower  medium green shrub, down another notch to a different medium green color plant, bordered by a lower variegated white and green liriope, with the final layer being the turf grass and Asiatic jasmine groundcover. 

And, lets not forget the chartreuse colored pocket of fern that also grabs the eye, and the sun-bronzed bromeliads that pop right out at you. 

Back up to eye level and there are 3 potted plants One of dark bronzed bromeliads and two tri-color plants. Did you notice that all of the colors blends beautifully with the color of the home? 

 In this small yard they've used  9 different leaf textures, from neatly trimmed plants to 3 spiky plant varieties: African iris, Aztec liriope grass and bromeliads. It's extremely neat and orderly. And, I hope you will agree that it is a very creative landscape. Obviously, carefully thought out and neatly maintained.

It's a fabulous landscape . . . full of interesting ideas . . . whose layout and color combination gives one much to think about when landscaping their own yard.
