A Closer Look: Screening | Air conditioners, generators, pool equipment, trash cans. Landscape planning and design can be used to effectively conceal these essential yet unsightly elements in a garden while maintaining access and functionality. When adequate space and growing conditions are available, evergreen plants can be used as vegetative screening. When room is limited, we may use planters and wire grids, mesh or trellises to help the plants grow vertically. Solid wood fences or low brick walls can also provide screening, and creative features and statement pieces such as seat walls, fountains or even art installations can hide eyesores and creating an aesthetically pleasing focal point. #prewettreadandassociates #pra #landscapearchitecture #landscaping #landscapedesign #landscape #houstonlandscapes #houstongardening #houstonlandscapearchitecture

Design details series time. In this month's Gardens Illustrated, Harris Bugg Studio co-founder Charlotte Harris, shares her love of using rock and stone in gardens. Drawing on a crevice garden we're designing in the studio as well as some wonderful examples from garden designers around the world, including Estudio Ome, The Landscape Studio, Luciano Giubbilei FRSA MSGD and Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture, Inc. the piece shares practical tips and insights from projects spanning California to New Zealand, Germany to Rwanda, and the UK to Mexico. There is also a glimpse of a new Harris Bugg Studio project where we are creating a swimming platform and walkway to a waterfall with Noble Stonework in the Inverness-shire countryside. Dualchas Architects are working on the property and we're responsible for slow, gentle interventions across the wider estate and gorge garden, which is characterised by a burn tumbling steeply down in a series of spectacular waterfalls. Gardens Illustrated is on sale now. #designdetails
