Pergola
I have a small patio on the side of my house, which is bordered on one side by some nice hedges of some kind, and faces my back yard and neighbor’s house. When I first moved in, I planned on laying down brick to extend the patio to the end of the house, so my patio would go all the way down the side to the back yard.
So, being the crazy planning type that I am, I broke out Blender3d and started playing. What I ended up coming up with looks really cool, and actually doable. The patio will be covered by a pergola, then a section of brick will go another 10 feet. The space between the yard and the brick, and the brick and the house, will be filled in with flowers and other ruffage. At the end of the brick, I will build a planter about 4′ off the ground, which will grow herbs on the top, and hanging tomato plants form the bottom.
oh yeah, the side door should be centered under the pergola, and there’s a kitchen window on the side of the house somewhere. I left ‘em out of the drawing.
