Design ideas for a large traditional backyard partial sun driveway for winter in Chicago with concrete pavers.

Even the driveway prevents stormwater runoff. Between each brick, gravel joints allow water to move from the driveway to the adjacent bioswale and orchard to fuel the resilience of the garden's foliage to drought. Like the bioswale, the drive is a feat of masonry and engineering, as it must be able to maintain the stability of the spaced bricks as it manages the weight of vehicle traffic.

Restauración de un jardín envejecido en el que el elemento destacado era la pradera de césped de la piscina. La acción principal ha sido la creación de parterres de arbustos de hoja perenne principalmente, destacados por los cambios de color en todas las estaciones. Dentro de los elementos aportados, destaca la fuent1e de estilo japones de acero corten, que da un toque en este viejo parterre en el que se aportan las nuevas plantaciones.

Each custom landscape is a one of a kind work of art. In this case the new landscape features a curvilinear front walkway, a new semicircular landing at the base of stone staircase with bluestone treads and natural stone veneer. A low stone retaining wall frames the entrance to the mixed evergreen flowering perennial and ornamental grass garden. The scope of work includes a belgian block apron and trench drain for drainage where the driveway meets the garage.

Stone columns provide an excellent focal point when houses have a further set back from the road. Low voltage outdoor lighting provides low cost visibility, and really makes the columns stand out at night.

Heated driveway and steps

A J Miller Landscape Architecture PLLC

We designed the driveway to have precast concrete pavers with a wet cast paver edging. A granite curb laid level with pavers for additional strength. The entire driveway is not heated for winter. New bluestone step treads are added and narrow grooves are cut underneath so we could also heat the steps and landings. New bluestone wall caps are added as well as LED wall lights, steps lights and under the wall caps. A new handrail was also added for safety and ease.

Driveway Design Ideas for Winter

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
