Skillful landscaping transforms this ordinary, small Cape Cod house into a cozy, quaint cottage that has instant curb appeal. Relying on an exuberant mix of flowering shrubs and perennials, the design evokes the mood of a friendly country home whose bountiful gardens burst with colorful flowers. Notice how the designer linked the front walk to the driveway with a few pleasing turns and a change of levels rather than dissecting the small property with a front walk leading straight to the street. This layout adds visual interest to the small yard while making it seem broader. The white picket fence adds to the cottage-garden charm while giving the landscape some depth and a feeling of intimacy. Massed together into several large planting beds, graceful trees, flowering shrubs, ground covers, and perennials border the house and entryway to create an ever-changing informal garden setting. Small boulders add a naturalistic character reminiscent of New England, and also provide a year-round structure to the beds. Planted along the base of the fence, perennials add color during the summer and soften the fence without hiding it. A deciduous shrub with strong spring color highlights the corner of the fenced garden, and evergreen flowering specimens brighten the corners of the house. Also shown here is home plan HPB661 by Home Planners. To balance the weight of the entry bed and paving, the designer placed a small tree and planting bed at the front corner of the driveway. These plants provide a colorful greeting as guests and family members approach the house.

A mirror-reversed set is a printed copy of your house, resulting in the same image you would see if you held the drawing up to a mirror. Everything, including the text, is backward in relation to the original design. These kinds of drawing are typically used to reorient an original plan more advantageously on a site, either because the homeowner prefers it that way or because of limitations of the site itself. Note: Mirror reverse sets are only available with a 5 copy or 8 copy set. With a Reproducible, PDF, or CAD set, you can print mirrored copies locally. In addition: 5 Copy set selected, should only allow 4 mirrored sets to be selected. 8 Copy set selected, should only allow 7 mirrored sets to be selected. |
