Gorgeous Gardens: Flower Fields by the Water

This backyard in Rye, N.Y. is downright dreamy, with views of the Long Island Sound punctuated by fields of flowers. The landscape designers purposefully chose whispy, purple and pink perennials to complement the setting's soft colors and feel. They then completed the space with a sitting area and fire pit.

Shore View of Home and Yard

Situated on the Long Island Sound, this home's yard feels like a natural extension of the landscape. Marsh grasses and the rocky shore transition easily to a wide green lawn with stone retaining walls.

Backyard With Stone Wall and Stairs

Landscape designers made use of this home's large expanse of land with different levels that include lawns, patios and gardens. Here, stone steps lead up from the outdoor shower and storage unit to a patio sitting area.

Kayak Storage and Outdoor Shower

Kayaks are stashed in a storage unit beneath the lawn, easily accessed via barn-style double doors. Next to the doors, an outdoor shower is ready to rinse away salt and sand.
