This backyard patio design has two raised planters that serve as informal seating and create a more intimate space. The planters are achored with Fireglow Japanese Maples and are underplanted with textural grasses and perennials. Beyond the patio, the garden flows into a restful lawn area surrounded by native plantings and mature trees. A rockery was designed along the south border and provides screening with the use of Vine Maple and Stewartia trees, and many grasses and evergreen flowering shrubs for year round interest.
