High Courtyard Walls
Courtyards like this one with high walls usually see very little direct sunlight. So besides a few plants for shade, a lot of garden decor and hardscape decorations such as the wall fountain are used to accent and create atmosphere in the courtyard.
Also, in closed in courtyards and patio designs like this, special attention to drainage is very important. See courtyard drainage for ideas and information for dealing with excess rain or flood water in courtyards.
