Stone Retaining Wall with Arborvitae Hedge

At dusk, an illuminated stacked stone retaining wall borders a green lawn, backed by a dense arborvitae hedge providing privacy beside a paved patio and outdoor dining set.

Design notes

Classic landscaping layers hedging, perennial borders and lawn around clear axes and focal points — a fountain, a bench, a view. Brick or stone edging keeps everything crisp.

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
