No. 45 Landscaping · Modern Farmhouse

Flagstone Garden Path Leading to Farmhouse

A flagstone path flanked by borders and garden beds of white hydrangeas and grasses leads across the lawn toward a modern farmhouse with white board-and-batten siding, black windows, and a metal roof.

Design notes

Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.

What to look for

  • Three layers: canopy, shrubs, groundcover
  • How hardscape and planting share the edges
  • Plants suited to the climate, not just the photo
