Bone Structure is Key to a Garden’s Success
Home owners are often taken aback when they realize, after many hours of prep time and intensive labor, their lovely and very expensive collection of plants in the garden are nothing more than too many lovely and expensive plants in a forgettable outdoor space.
The most memorable and eye-catching gardens are those with strong internal hardscape structure. Too many plants not separated and defined by hardscaping, a word landscaper architects and designers use to describe more permanent fixtures that give a garden its shape, depth, and framework for the plants, can be uninspiring and over- whelming. 
Great landscapes get their character from lovely bones: stone work, benches, water features, garden accents, sculptures, terraces, garden lighting, containers/planters, patios, arbors/pergolas, custom fences and gates, and the edging around your plant beds. All the elements that aren’t plants!
When you add a bench, a large rock, or a delightful curving stone path to a large grouping of your beautiful plants or a garden bench, suddenly the garden comes to life with its own story to tell. Your garden will capture the attention of your guests, and if you look closely, you’ll see them leaning in as they marvel at your gardens, as if they’re listening to your garden tell its story for the very first time.
