THE LANDSCAPE APPROACH
A gathering space defined by its edges.
The courtyard combines a paver surface with a border of rounded river rock and small shrubs. The paving creates a continuous central area, while the stone and planting distinguish the perimeter from the usable surface. A surrounding fence gives the space an enclosed garden setting.
There is a clear contrast between the straight lines of the pavers and the rounded texture of the river rock. Green planting breaks up the hard surfaces around the edges. Together, these visible details give the courtyard a finished composition without filling the central area with additional features.
A similar layout can be a starting point for a compact seating area or a garden courtyard. For another property, the dimensions, access, ground conditions and materials would need to be reviewed before a design or installation scope is agreed. The photo is a reference for the arrangement of materials, rather than a fixed plan for every garden.

A change in texture
