Small Patio Upgrade

For this courtyard project, my client sought to revitalize her existing planters, which had been overtaken by dead plants, while maintaining harmony with the surrounding shared space. I focused on selecting pink flowering perennials that could thrive in the predominantly shaded area, offering color and texture without overwhelming the existing ecosystem. To achieve a cohesive look, I added new containers that complemented the original ones and introduced decorative accent planters to enhance the overall texture. Recognizing the client’s desire to care for the plants herself, I provided a personalized guide on pruning, fertilization, and watering to ensure the plants would thrive for years to come.

Results

The client is now equipped with the knowledge to maintain the space through a personalized care guide, ensuring long-term success and sustainability. We will be back in the spring to add more containers and install a custom wire trellis on the fence for vining flowering plants to grow on, further enhancing the courtyard’s beauty.
