Wide-Open Country: Plan A
Landscape designer Joanne Kostecky's plan features a new pergola which mimics the architecture of the house. It has a fire pit in the center and a copper roof with a spire. A water feature would sit in the center of the two-level patio, with a waterfall linking the two levels. A set of stairs descends a heavily planted slope with plants like Oregon holly grape to camouflage the oddly placed sump pump and create a lush, colorful setting.
