Do It Yourself Landscape Ideas:
Odd Shaped Shady Garden

This has been an interesting landscape to design. I knew right away what I wanted to do with the shady area so the odd shaped lot wasn't hard to design. (More on this design below)

The front beds by the street existed as well as the ones to the right. The cobblestone path from the front door to the garden is more of a visual to frame the house and connect the entire yard together.

The concrete curb and sump area are necessity due to a drainage problem. The house sits on a sloped street where water floods the house and seeps into the house. The whole starting point of the design was to create a sump and drain the water to the back yard. However, it gave opportunity to create a beautiful landscape.
