Atlanta is a city that has wonderful curb appeal. Whether it is a charming tudor or an elegant home in Buckhead, residents understand the importance of good landscaping. A name I often come across when researching Atlanta homes is the landscape firm of Howard Design Studio. On each project, John Howard creates a masterpiece oasis full of potted plants, lush texture, and grand dimension. While his landscape design is tasteful, it is often happily unexpected.

I can’t wait to share more fun Atlanta design when I return. Per usual, check my instagram for up to the minute pictures!

An exquisite pergola with potted topiaries and beautiful hedges. Stunning!

Symmetry and beautiful boxwood elegance. I love that off-white brick color!

Another glimpse of the Boxwood house. This sundial centerpiece is as timeless as the home.

Often people place fountains in the center, but this wall fountain is superb and sophisticated. I love the different tiers of plants and mix of texture and color. Photo source: The Foo Dog Ate My Homework
