Gulf Waters

 

We have two patios, and we love them both.  The lower patio, in front by the pond, gets full sun exposure until the afternoon.  It’s a great place for coffee in the morning, but a little too warm mid-day in the summertime.  The side patio under the awning is cool and breezy, but a little small.

 

Thanks to Forrest and Kim at Johnson’s Greenhouse, we’ve got some ideas about how to improve both.  We can expand the border of the lower patio, add a little “interest” in the plantings, and add a water feature.  We can expand the side patio.  Here are the “before” pictures.
