Shade for a Too-Sunny Patio
This patio is a sea of bricks, and the homeowners, Terry and Chris Gregorio, need some shade. Designer Denise Muscarella's plan proposes a redwood gazebo that dramatically solves the problem, while also providing an attention-grabbing destination. The gazebo is roofed by simple copper pipes. White potato vines will grow over the gazebo, giving the space underneath a lattice-type shade. Sweet alyssum, purple pincushion flowers, lavender and other easy perennials are planted in containers at the base of each post. The entire cost of the project is about $1,300.
