All About

Landscape Smart
More from the show

Host Ken Bastida and landscape designer Nancy Driscoll discuss design principles for a garden portal. Carpenter Andy Simms suggests giving the fence a decorative look by adding a pea gravel step in front and an open-lattice look to the top of the fence. He discusses design for the top of the arbor. Driscoll gives the garden a more spacious look by manipulating textures and colors. They build the gate out of rustic, recycled wood and rustic hardware. They use hand-wrought iron forged in Mexico and hob nails to give the gate a southwestern look.
