Architecture extends beyond the design of your home, it also applies to the outdoor landscape. Make the outside of your home as beautiful as the inside with inspiration from the following article.

Hayward is a proponent of the entry garden, wide borders flanking a front walk that serves as the garden's spine. "I want you to walk through and experience the front garden rather than pass it by," he says.
