For my garden design portfolio 1 The owner wants the outdoor space to be convenient for adults, children, and dogs for daily activities and family gatherings. The original existing large lawn is divided into an outdoor dining and entertainment area. The design also considered the safety of children and dogs, so gates, front fences, and a separate pathway were also part of the design. These prevent kids and dogs from walking out to the street. In order to keep the existing big tree healthily, we avoided building any hardscapes in the root protection zone, to allow the root to breathe and absorb water. Finally, a combination of tropical and subtropical plants creates low maintenance, lush natural atmosphere.
