Multifunctional Backyard

The designer decided to remove the lawn in this landscape and add heightened stacked-stone containers for growing herbs and veggies. The landscape design has been tested to be drought-tolerant and includes a set of benches, some containers made with broken-down granite pebbles, a fire pit, and steppingstones. It is one of the most gorgeous and multi-use landscaping ideas you can have at home.

Islamic-Styled Courtyard

An Islamic-styled garden is based on the standards of Middle Eastern landscaping designs. It is basically a courtyard with a seating area. It also features a summer house and a large basin-fountain encircled with some pebbles on a raised concrete surface. The fountain is the centerpiece of the courtyard, and the surrounding is embellished with raised concrete containers of year-round beautiful jewel-colored plants.

Private Garden

A private garden offers extra privacy from the surrounding bad view or nosy neighbors. If you have a house in the middle of busy urban life, this is one of the gorgeous landscaping ideas that can be a smart solution—especially if you also have children.

The private garden is actually a lawn surrounded by graceful vines, aromatic Burkwood osmanthus, Japanese privet, and tall bamboo along the wall. The lawn also features an extended wooden deck where you can place a kid’s play sandbox with a specially-designed cover to keep the sand and toys inside the box when it is not being used. You may as well create a lounge area there, so you can relax while watching the kids play.
