Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Feb 16, 2009 4:43 pm Just thought i would share my landscaping pics with homeone members.
SOME OF THE PICS SHOW THE DATE 2006 AGAIN MY SON TOOK THE BATTERIES OUT OF MY CAMERA AND I FORGOT TO RESET THE DATE seem to have that habit is it because im a woman Unfortunately i couldnt do this myself so had to get a landscaper who is a friend of one of my girlfriends. He finished the front last OCT In day and a half which i thought was pretty good going .And the back and sides of the house he completed just recently in 2 half days.. on his own shock: He still has the courtyard area to complete which wont be done till i get more money. Its a simple landscape .front yards a dry creek bed with drought tolerant plants.. lost a few plants the last couple of weeks due to heat.. large rocks pebbles and steppers around the front of the house. The nature strip has edging with mulch and few grasses. Once the rains come im sure the plants will take off. Lots of pics hope they downloan quickly . tried to resize looks like it didnt happen The back is a narrow Garden bed along the fence line mulched with edging again filled with PITTOSPEROMS for privacy and a few Camelias ,grasses and a Dwarf Lemon Tree . the paths are steppers filled with Tuscon toppings. All simple and easy to manage Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: my landscaping pics 3Feb 20, 2009 5:29 pm I like it how with the dry river bed out the front, you can just turn the tap on to have water

Also, what do you do with a normal garden when the weeds pop up? You kill them or pull them out.... 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

Also, what do you do with a normal garden when the weeds pop up? You kill them or pull them out.... no they don't They only keep weeds away when nothing goes on top. Once soil or rocks go on top, that is what the weed seeds germinate in when they blow in. Weed mat stops weeds when it is used as a floor covering in commercial nurseries. Some cheeky buggers thought they'd clean up and flog it to the retail garden centre customers. Great to stop rocks working into the soil though.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Quote: Cabinfever What happens in the front when the weeds start growing? I was wondering that too! And how come you don't have a footpath? Would have looked better if you did.. Salt n Pepper there's is a footpath ( there steppers) if you look closer it goes around the front of the house. There's other areas to walk on too. As for weeds i just spray them with weed killer easily fixed or keep on top of them regular. Unlike a conventional garden .. Weeds arnt a real problem in the front as i don't get that many anyway. As for weed mats i had them down in my old garden they where an absolute god send I got a few weeds through . If i didnt have the mat down id be out constantly pulling them out. Re: my landscaping pics 10Feb 24, 2009 1:11 pm Hi,
Your Garden looks fantastic!!! Just a quick question in regards to your tuscan pathway, what have you used as edging for the pathway?? Looks sturdy and durable. I have been hunting high and low and can not find anything suitable. Thanks Re: my landscaping pics 11Feb 24, 2009 7:03 pm I love the dry creek bed look - we considered it for our house, but we went for something more linear in the end. No lawn though, no way!

JHC that edging in the back is similar to the decking edging ., the front edging is that flexible wood edging. all available at hardware stores. KEK yes i found it a cheaper option for the back.. plus clean and easy to maintain Hmmm, I have checked your past posts and it seems that you are in NSW, not WA as I had thought. It pays to show your State in your avatar.
