Great Entryways Wow Guests On The Way In

It is all about a first impression and a grand entrance makes a statement.  A great entryway and garden will also welcome you home and Wow! your guests when entering your property.  Here we show how lining your drive with Foxtail palm trees, along with Plumeria trees and other tropical plants produces a dramatic tropical entryway.  It is accented by decorative masonry for style and function. Imagine driving to this home for the first time.

Use Art To Create A Mood In Your Garden

Whatever your style, from European statues to contemporary art, adding a piece of art to your garden adds interest, meaning, and sets the mood.   It completely changes the atmosphere.  It may invoke contemplation, reflection, a smile, and more. Embellish your garden with art that inspires you.

Create A Spectacular Circular Entryway

Construct a stunning circular entry way by using the plant layering technique mentioned in our earlier post.  First, determine the size of the circle for your planter to help determine the size of the plants and focal point to be used.  Then decide what you will use as the focal point (tallest element) in the center.  Will it be a tree, statue, large boulder, water feature, etc.?  Next, determine complimentary plants and colors for the plant rings around it.  These should accent the focal point, be of different heights (from tallest to lowest), and blend well with your overall landscape.  Bricks, edging, pavers, etc. can also be incorporated as a layer.  Then plant it up, following plant spacing instructions and leaving room for plants to fill in, and enjoy.
