Inside Out Garden & Landscape Design and Installation
Enjoy your garden – even from indoors!
A unique perspective Typical American landscaping focuses on curb appeal. While the view of your property from the street is essential, another type of garden prioritizes the perspective of those inside the home. Unlike the “outside-in” garden, which caters to the viewpoint of passers-by, the “inside-out” approach prioritizes the perspective of those who live or work inside the home or building. This style of garden, predominant in Japan, is designed and built to bring beauty and enjoyment primarily to those who live there.
Living in the garden painting
These “inside-out” gardens bring the beauty and serenity of the garden right into the heart of your home. The gorgeous view is a living painting to be enjoyed from both inside and outside your residence or workplace. A garden experienced from both indoors and out becomes a rare and special place accessible at a glance as you move through your home. These gardens offer some unique features:
- All pruning is done to emphasize a view from a specific viewing spot in the home
- Foundation plantings moved away from the house to become visible from indoors
- Special attention to four season interest as the garden will be enjoyed even in dormancy
- Attention is given to the feeling and function of the space
The best of both worlds
Although “curb appeal” is a secondary priority, these well-designed gardens also look lovely from the outside. Whether viewing your garden from inside your home, sitting in the shade in an outdoor “garden room,” or walking along the curb, the “inside-out” garden promises sanctuary and delight from all perspectives.
