A narrow garden behind a house in Colleyville: a fieldstone wall, bamboo in weathering steel planters, cactus and agave in gravel, and a lawn up to the patio.

Concept

Make the retaining wall the view. The wall is faced in fieldstone and lit from its base, so the garden reads from every window, day and night.

Structure

A fieldstone retaining wall with uplights at its foot, weathering steel planters of bamboo, a gravel band of cactus, agave and grasses, and a lawn to the covered patio.

Challenge

A tight yard and a tall fence, seen from the living room, the patio and the sunroom.

Result

The view from inside is the garden now, and after dark the wall glows.
