I took out the lawn at this client's place and installed this last year. I am really happy with how it is turning out.

    This is fantastic. Xeriscape doesn’t have to be zero-scape! This is a wonderful example. I like the use of rock rather than too much rock. It’s really good!

    This looks awesome. I did something similar in my front yard to replace grass and it looks great, my only regret is not thinking about how hot the rocks would get in summer; it gets southwest exposure and damaged a tree with radiating heat up on its trunk right after being planted. I think I’m gonna cover it with cardboard soon to protect all the immature plants. Once things get bigger and more established, they won’t be so sensitive and they will shade out the rocks quite a bit hopefully! My in laws did it on their front yard as well and it’s worked out great since it is east facing.
