Here's a nautical themed landscape that is just perfectly executed. It's not too "themey" and not "under-themed." I can't say enough good things about this landscape. The plant choice is perfect for our climate and watering restrictions too.
Here's the neat part...I took this photo several days ago. Yesterday, I'm at our town's small Home & Garden Show and I see this very house in our small local magazine called Home and Design!
My walking buddy and I love collecting ideas for gardening and curb appeal. I took this photo because we thought the pilings would be an adorable addition to her house (or mine!). I take my little digital camera with me on our walks these days. We always talk about implementing ideas we see on our walks, but then never remember them.
I hope I don't get in trouble for having taken and posted this photo. I cropped a lot of it out to be (more) safe.
I need to price out something like this. I know a 40 ft 10-14" pole is $400 and has a delivery fee of $200. My parent's neighborhood just had to purchase one. I assume that smalled lenths (say 4 ft pole w/ diameter of 8") are much less expensive. I guess I could visit with local dock installers for pricing info.
That is such a great idea. I'm so envious of gardeners that can do the minimal gardening and make it look beautiful. I can't image those poles being that expensive but I've never looked for them.
