Landscaping Ideas for a Stunning Backyard

Landscaping Ideas for a Stunning Backyard
Tiny courtyards or expansive lawns make these outdoor escapees an ideal place for their surroundings. In addition, you get even more great backyard inspiration!


A living archway frames the way to the vegetable garden of Rebecca Vizard. A post office in Seaside, Florida, inspired the design of the small shed.

Landscape architect Lisa Bynon transformed her vegetable garden in Southampton, New York, into a dreamy outdoor dining area with a 10 foot table and a cedar stag fence.

A garden with a plan offers both beauty and elegance, says landscape architect Edmund Hollander. Here, the property lines are reinforced by a straight run of bluestone stones, and the lavender edges focus the eye.

Thin trees shade the walled retreat of a house from the 1960s. Elizabeth Kennedy and Ray Booth brought the elegant style of the interior outdoors by adding all-weather chairs and lantern rows.

Designed by Markham Roberts, this Nashville home features a stunning Patio ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Aura's Black Knight and surrounded by thick, tall bushes to add privacy to the backyard.

Chloe Warner simply thought of the landscape of a California house: "We've done nothing but create areas for eating and entertaining." A love seat by the door, heated by Galanter & Jones, tempts the party guests to climb onto the terrace on cool evenings.

In a cottage with a French flair, Wisteria shades a bistro group with bistro chairs. Very chic!

Add an ambience to an outdoor dining area with a group of topiaries. Monica Bhargava often uses her foliage-lined patio for alfresco dinners.

Privacy creates a sense of space, says Hollander. Here rows of hydrangeas and white-flowering salvias muffle the noise and emphasize a charming fountain.

Between the hearth and the floating dock, it's hard to decide where to relax in Thom Filicia's elegant lake house.

The restriction to one type of flower spares long-term work in the garden. For a customer who really loves roses, Edmund Hollander has planted 250 English grandifloras.
