Naples, CAA Wonderful Neighborhood with Porches and Patios
Naples California is a neighborhood of Long Beach built on three islands connected with picturesque canals.
Built in 1922, it was planned as the "Dreamland of Southern California".
The feature we like the most however, is its beautiful porches and patios.

Charming Victorian porchBrick patios and walkways always add lot of curb appeal. Select a color or colors that complement your home to maximize the overall affect.The walkway and steps below are like an invitation to see what is just around the corner.

Brick patio to welcome visitorsThe right container gardening design can add immense appeal to any patio or porch. Shown below are two examples.In the first, large containers hold more massive plants in addition to providing a bit more privacy. Containers make it easier to maintain plants and allow for different configurations. 
Easy maintenance container landscapingThis array of smaller containers gives the area a totally different look from the one above. You can have more variety and add a bit of whimsy too.Either configuration works depending on the overall affect you want to achieve. We saw many of these along the canals in our walk around Naples, California.

White roses to complement the front porchThis little corner of the yard speaks volumes. The beautiful colors of the flowers against the black wrought iron and white picket fence are eye-catching to say the least.Consider doing something similar near your porch if you have black wrought iron railings. You could easily extend a small picket fence from a corner and recreate this same look.

Entertaining in blue tonightResidents of Naples California and southern California as a whole love to landscape with succulents. Succulents are also very popular across the U.S. as well.Here is a good example of integrating succulents with other perennials, this one in front of a porch. Succulent gardens are easy to maintain and many have flowers that are quite beautiful. 
Integrate succulents into your porch landscapingAnother good example of succulent gardening ideas is pictured below. Many succulents do not have spines which makes it easier to use them around or near traffic areas.

Adding an outdoor gas fireplace for those cool evenings is an ideal addition to any patio.Integrating it into your railing system is rather unique.
