Top Landscaping Sites Have Great Ideas for Your Outdoor Living Space

To me this is a great time to start daydreaming about the improvements I want to make this coming spring/summer. My outdoor wooden furniture would look so much nicier on a new patio. I have wanted a new patio for years. It is now time to put the plan to paper

Below are many landscaping or design sites

I find that I come up with my best ideas after seeing what other people have done

These sites do that. I would never use their services but I sure can get ideas from their sites

GardenDesigner.com -Use the arrows to go through different projects shown in a slideshow

Hanselman Landscape-Paths and Patios Ideas, Portifolio images, Japanese Gardens, Walls & Terraces, Pool & Water Gardens

    Clearwater Summit Group - "Residential Projects"

    Partridge Design - "Our Work" go through various categories

    Backyard Oasis - "recent projects" & "photos to view" click on image

    Richard Arentz Landscaping- "residential projects" choose project, then project detail, then view slideshow

    TJB Inc- "gallery" lots of categories to choose from

    Now I seem to want to look at plans for my front porch. Maybe just enhancing it with a new piece of outdoor wooden furniture, maybe a new rocking chair, a side table, or bench will have to do for now!!
