in our last house we wasted $$$$ on plants and had a poorly designed patio. the patio got to much sun, wind and rain in the end we didnt use it. one half of the backyard was lush, but the other half turned into brown sticks.
we had to redo the front yard twice and got it almost right. (it didnt all die!)
in our new house we want to have a patio that works all year round, one that doesnt get to hot or cold.
we want to plant things once. we also would like brick walls and plant boxes. we are also having lots of liquid limestone
we dont want a winning desgin backyard just one that will work.
i would love lots of trees too
who have you used?
