Design ideas for a modern garden in Seattle with a water feature and gravel.

The outdoor elements should be every bit as interesting as the home's interior design. This gateway is loaded with tiny yellow roses and is a welcome sight after a long winter season. The grass that lines the path is Liriope (Monkey grass). Small sprigs (6-8 leaves each) were planted 6" apart. It took a couple of growing seasons to obtain the look you see here. Mondo grass, which I have used in other areas of the country, seemed to have different attributes than Monkey grass. There are many different varieties of Liriope. Check with your local landscape expert to find what type will work best for you.

the bamboo is a clumping variety called Bambusa eutuldoides viridi-vittata , Asian lemon bamboo. This variety is a clumper and you do not need to contain it, however, do allow an 8'by 10' area for its ultimate growth. Bamboo does require constant maintenance and you will need to do some research for the specific variety you choose. Once planted, it will become a beautiful focal point and add a stunning tropical accent. Photo Credit: Sherwood Cox
