Mediterranean Gardens

The owner of the Mediterranean-style house Memorial Park near Houstons asked us to develop a garden and the issue of Landscape Architecture of myrrh home. This house was situated on a large plot of several acres and is characterized by symmetry, the linear form, despite his two-storey seemed much longer than was high. . To create a Mediterranean garden that emphasize this structure was a bit "more complex than you might think." Owing to the coasts of southern Italy and Greece are mountain areas where houses are built on hills and gardens, gardens are often the area where homes and gardens are built at steep angles and sharp rises vertically. gardens and fields have been planted on terraces that wind around the mountains of limestone. The mixture of white stucco walls, Stark limestone, green and abundant all symbols region.However become emblematic of this, as we all know, the Texas Gulf coast is very flat, giving us little or nothing about the three dimensions of geography that to build a Mediterranean garden terrance. Instead, what we had to do was here to add vertical elements symmetrical shapes and areas of verticle movement. This would create the illusion of more than simple flat space, and this suggests a number of problems typical of Europe's Mediterranean coast terrain . The garden first element adding a circular knot garden is between the sidewalk and the motorcourt focused on the front door. Bossi, we used to create circular lines of terraced hills that are mentioned. In the center of the knot garden is Loropatalum planted a shrub called bright purple traps and attracts the eyes. To give the garden a vertical element which then moves the eye upward to the main entrance of the house, we planted a Crinum lily that is centered and the vegetation is its stem.Next, we created a parterre garden centered windowpane of a large room on the west side of the house. This garden consisted mostly of low growth pink flowers that one of them apart from the different views throughout this district of Houston. We did the boundaries of the garden of the box, and then used the Mediterranean limestone gravel for the garden paths. To add an item to three dimensions of this reflection on the Costa Blue, planted a small shrub called dwarf yaupon, which has a curious resemblance to the clouds. The allusion to the scenes we've all seen the clouds moving in from the sea and beautiful landscapes through expanded hilltops.We garden theme Mediterranean in the rear of the property where a 50-foot cliff overlooking a wooded area near one of Buffalo Bayous major tributaries. planted a crepe myrtle alley off visitors to this picturesque place, and have built a added limestone bridge that is the color of the house, limetsone Pook and gravel in the garden.
