Incorporating Structures

Before: The problem is a common one--a structure that doesn't tie into the rest of the landscape. The homeowners would like this greenhouse/shed to blend in with the garden.

Media After: Pathways, plantings, trellises and vines pull the greenhouse into the landscape. (Click on the image for a video recap of the project.)

The homeowners have a greenhouse-shed and a fence in their backyard, and neither is incorporated into the landscape. The overall look is stark. Landscape designer Pete Knapik produces a design that fully blends both the fence and the greenhouse into the garden.
