Sample Photos Of Three Landscaped Backyards

Sample photos of three different landscaped backyards. Every home has a unique layout of the property. Your outdoor surroundings has its own characteristics. I decided to do something a little different on this photo gallery page.

Below are three different samples of homeowners with their own personality and landscape needs. They are not alike in any respect.

One of the homes is done by a professional designer and landscaper and the other two are created by the homeowners.

Each of the their properties have a totally different layout and design.

This backyard was professionally designed and landscaped by Tripp Merritt of Willow Tree Landscaping in Piedmont, South Carolina.

The property had a definite problem with drainage due to the slope.

The focal point and the main hub of this area is the pool. The walkway is lit so the owners could use the pool to relax and entertain throughout an evening.

The walkway balances well with the natural contour of the land. Blending in any hard scape and landscape gives you a very professional look when finished.













Notice the planters on either side of the stairs. The planters add a stylish look to the steps. Garden beds surround the pool with a privacy fence. Each landscape bed is defined by the the trench line.



A few Holly trees were planted along with a variety of other plants to give the backdrop some character.











The eating area is situated near the eloquent grill. Under the deck is a bed with plants of different textures and shapes. A decorative planter accents the bed.

This particular backyard lends itself to a complete paradise. It also expresses the homeowners personality along with their form of relaxation.













This sample of a backyard property is smaller and the homeowners wanted to create an area where they could relax at any time of the day. The garden is full of unique items and has everything ranging from a glass table, chairs, picnic table and even horse shoe pits.

The owner used a variety of different borders to create a unique look around the bed. The garden was built in and around trees to provide the family with shade during the hot summer months. The Hosta are wonderful plants that do great in shady locations.











The homemade fountain provides a soothing atmosphere. The Hostas around the tree add to the character of this garden. This bed around the tree is raised up and bordered with layers of rocks.



A few statues and figurines were added to complete the landscape area. This small homey haven even has outdoor speakers. A great garden to relax and enjoy. Take a look at another idea of A Sample Of A Backyard Garden Design. This sample of a landscape design has been requested by my clients. Many of the clients like to have a variety of trees and shrubs throughout the entire bed.












This homeowner has created a wonderful area of many different garden beds of plant specimens. Many of the plants are native to this area. He works full time and for the last five years he has spent his time building and sometimes rebuilding these inspiring landscaped areas. He has a large area to work with.



The first two sample photos show plants all along a bed that is sloped. Noticed how he added some rocks to help with the water flow. Each bed flows from one to the other. The right side property line has a hammock near the woods for a moment or two to rest. The left side has a row of different trees and shrubs to create a privacy wall.











The dry rock bed has a natural look to it but also acts as a drainage for the sloped yard. In front of the dry rock bed is a drainage grate to also help with the water flow.

He planted a few single beds of Crepe Myrtles to add to the beauty of his lawn.

As you can see, he still isn't finished and over the next couple of years, hopes to complete this long but satisfying landscape project.
