Photoshop Illustrations for a Potential Garden Design
Added 2023-07-26 23:09:43 +0000 UTCI mentioned this in my podcast, but if you don't know, I'm working with a local landscape design group called Hardy Californians to redo my garden in the front. They only work with native plants, and I like their message and what they do as a company.
To be honest... the illustrations aren't thaaat good, but it gives a decent idea of what the finished product could look like. They're helping with plant selection, design, layout, plant sourcing, and sourcing materials.
The second picture was their first draft because I mentioned a pergola would be nice, but they said there isn't enough room so they got creative and made this ladder contraption lol. After seeing the illustration, I was like... ohhh no that's not great. Chairs like this I'm also not a big fan of.
In Japan, I saw these large rocks used as a seating area so I proposed that as an option. There were also those tiles around businesses and temples that I thought looked unique. Not too rugged, but still tidy and neat. It looks better than the gravel imo.
This isn't the final draft. I think I want more hardscaping and defined areas. There is a bit too much grass for my liking.

Interesting ideas. Like you, I'm not too impressed with the first one with ladders. The seats look like hassocks. The second is much better and really just a round table with simple chairs would work too.
