      - that's beautiful (also really expensive to do) -- nm - decline Jun 22, 07:27 1
        
        indeed. that version is a little extra but just showing a non-lawned, terraced, type yard. -- nm - Andie Jun 22, 08:04
    - and depending on the area/environment, I'd consider plants that don't require much water/looking after especially if the area is large -- nm - Beaker Jun 22, 06:19 2
      - yeah, that's partly why i said natural - things that are already native to the area. (a) they help the pollinators and (b) they are designed to live - Andie Jun 22, 06:21 1
        
        gotcha and I love the idea of rock pathways through the yard/plants. there are a few places along the river here that did that and it is gorgeous -- nm - Beaker Jun 22, 06:23
