Do It Yourself Landscape Ideas:
Multi-level Xeriscape

This picture gives you a good view of the walkway around the landscaping. Again, this element is also created from natural native materials. It's nothing more than flat native rocks laid over a crusher fines bed with pea gravel in the cracks. It's very stable, permanent, and it looks good. More on this below...

As you can see, all elements combined give this plan its southwest landscaping design feel. The home itself is an earth tone adobe color and fits well with the neutral colors of the natural elements.

The plants along the edge of the home are Blue Flax. Blue Flax is another water wise plant that does well in xeriscaping plans. It blooms all summer and the sky blue flowers have a wonderful contrast with the brown walls of the home.

Most backyards that we create don't have as many hardscape materials as this one. However, this backyard landscaping idea is created more to be viewed than used. The clients have no children and do very little entertaining.
