Scroll through the photos to get some landscaping ideas for your own garden landscape, what to plant and what not to plant.

Good use of different colored rock, larger plants
in background and smaller plants in foreground. Colorful but a bit too crowded.
Colorful ‘rose rock’ river bed, most are made with grey river rock.
This one is different, it adds contrast to the landscape.
Curving flagstone steps draw the eye up, very nice.
This landscape needs more plants, especially
around the electrical and telephone boxes.
Maybe a few boulders too.
Grass is not against stucco, very good.
Shrubs that are against house are low water usage plants,
trees are well-spaced in the lawn.
Teracing with large boulders helps to
break-up this larger-than-average landscape
Crape myrtle looks nice but that’s about all.
Landscape designer needed.
