    Any suggestions on how to landscape around a carport that is attached to the end of my home?
    The carport is open and is seen when entering the driveway.I'd like to decorate inside the carport,also. I like country/rustic style ideas. I'm lost on what to do.

    how about using split-rail fence as a knee wall?... line it inside with wire fence and grow a few vines or climbing roses on it... that will sort of 'enclose' the area.... without blocking breezes too much.... install bamboo shades inside around the perimenter and then you'll have shades and privacy, too... great place for a potted tree or two.... wicker furniture.... or just some good old lawn chairs!!.... maybe a hammock across a couple of those support poles????.... throw down some Astroturf for an easy care carpet!.... that can be rolled up if you need to the put the car in there one day.....sounds like a fun project!!!...
