This is not the best pic. It's old and it doesn't show the entire yard, but you get the idea.

    Jodi- I don't get it! What does this have to do with Italians? I just didn't want to keep having to pay for sod every year when we were going through another drought.

    There isn't a single lawn on Long Island -- it's just a joke.  Italians have "rock yards!"

    I have to say that I love it. The landscaping is very tasteful. Where I live, it's all about desert landscaping and this is a great example.

    Thank you! 

    What you cannot see is a very long row of 6+ foot high hedges going up the driveway from the street. This used to be my parents house and they planted them over 15 years ago. They are more maintenance than the rest of the front yard. Part of me really wants to pull them out.

    I may have to save your picture for when we are finally able to redo our landscaping. Right now it's a hot mess. Sad

    I don't know about EK, but we have to worry about weeds with our rock landscaping. Such a pain in the a$$.

    Yeah, we still need to pull weeds every once in a while, but not much. And we still need to mulch and prune the rest. We also have a huge backyard that still needs mowed. Our water bill went from $150-$200 to $30 a month. Crazy!

    I would assume that was an old person yard, lol. Every old person in the desert (i.e. Palm Springs) has a rock yard. We'll eventually do a xeriscaped yard.

    Just call me old! lol We have people drive in the cul-de-sac just to tell us it's beautiful and how they want it in their yard. Until they ask about how much something like that costs!

    It looks quite nice, but is it usable space at all?
