Beautifully Designed Yard

This yard is designed so well. I want to copy and paste it into my own outdoor space, or at least remember some of the "why's?" behind certain parts.

The fountain was put in to help drown out outside noise.

The gate and hedges offer privacy and separation from the public sidewalk.

I think that large grassy areas are needed for play, but they don't need to take up in the entire yard. I actually love the idea of breaking a yard up into separate mini-gardens/outside areas. A tree-lined path would be plenty of fun to run around in and would add height and variety.

Tiny details can make such a difference.
