Old English Rustic Style Landscape Design

In many rural areas and housing developments like with this old English rustic design, much of the natural environment is left while the homes are built around it. Sometimes this is due to construction codes and other times it can be a developers choice. In its natural environment, it looks good, works well in the environment, and is generally easy to incorporate into the landscaping.

The vines on the fireplace wall are still a common sight in many areas. While this can look good and add a cottage garden or old English garden rustic feel, it is something you need to be careful with. These vines have to anchor themselves to the wall and many of them are so stout and aggressive that they can destroy the wall. Even on brick walls like these, the anchor roots can break up the bricks and mortar.
