Transforming your courtyard into a romantic retreat starts with thorough preparation and cleanup. Before you can add cozy seating, lush greenery, or twinkling lights, it’s essential to clear the clutter and create a clean slate. Start by removing any debris, trimming overgrown plants, and pressure-washing surfaces to refresh your space. Sweeping away leaves, pulling weeds, and scrubbing stone or concrete will instantly make your courtyard feel fresh and inviting. Think of this as laying the foundation for a tranquil, intimate setting where every detail enhances the mood.
Once your courtyard is clean and prepped, it’s time to map out the perfect layout. Consider how you want the space to feel-whether it’s an elegant European-inspired garden or a cozy, candlelit escape. Start by defining key areas, such as a seating nook for intimate conversations, a dining space for romantic dinners, or a small fire feature to add warmth and ambiance. Layering textures with pavers, gravel, or outdoor rugs helps soften the space, while climbing vines or privacy screens can create a secluded, intimate atmosphere.
With the groundwork complete, it’s time to add romantic touches that will bring your courtyard to life. String lights draped overhead, lanterns along pathways, and flickering candles on tables instantly create a soft, enchanting glow. Incorporate fragrant flowers like jasmine, roses, or lavender to engage the senses and enhance the romantic vibe. A small water fountain or trickling feature adds soothing sounds, making the space feel even more serene. By thoughtfully preparing and designing your courtyard, you’re creating the perfect escape-whether for quiet moments alone, intimate gatherings, or unforgettable evenings under the stars.

Your lamb's ear is supposed to look like that in winter. Mine looks the same. I just wait til early spring, and clean off dead leaves. You don't need to dig them up. I look forward to seeing your videos. You and your husband work so good together. ❤❤❤
Evening garden enthusiasts I have others throughout my garden that don’t look like that. I cleaned them up to place elsewhere. Recycle-Reuse. Kevin is the creator of my vision thanks for watching and your support
I'm in a cooler Zone, 7b. Maybe that's why mine look like that in winter, but they always come back.
@ we use to be zone 7 but I think in 2023 or 24 it changed to 8. It’s definitely have gotten worse that you walk you back door an you have to cut the humidity with a knife lol
Gm! Sometimes, we have to pivot, but the clean was great. It is all going to come together beautifully. Thanks for sharing your space❤
GM garden friends you are so right, being able to adjust is key in gardening. The suggestion is having me reimagine the garden. Thanks for watching and your support
Yep, the gravel is a problem. It really heats up and isn’t good for plants. Your idea of pots is a great one! I would try to remove some of the gravel from around the roses if you can. 😊
I liked the clean look of it, so I got sucked in lol 😂. I do try to keep it away from the base of roses but funny thing those 2 does some serious blooming all the way up to October. Someone had even mentioned just covering the gravel with mulch. Part of the other reason we did gravel is that is a high end of our sloped yard and we were trying to afford the run off of the mulch when we have those massive rain fall for days
@@inspiringgardenkorner I so understand that. Gardening is a lifelong learning process....:)
Good morning it's my birthday looking good
Afternoon Barbara well enjoy your day may it be filled with love ❤️ thanks for watching
GM I see moving the rocks was a big job , poss cover with thick mulch?
GM Mattie, yeah it was. Kevin had to reminded me that because of the slop in the yard and the drain system we did put the gravel heavier there. From some other ideas having plants in pots would allow color and different heights. I know on the other side the bobo’s a rose are going in the ground.
