When we speak of landscaping most of us think of shrubs, trees, and plants. But hardscape structures can be a significant part of a residential landscape.

Nothing soothes and relaxes quite like the rippling sound of water. And you can create this outdoor ambience with a green and water-wise water feature.

Every homeowner wants their house to look nice, be inviting, and draw compliments from guests and folks passing by. A curb appeal upgrade can do that.

Today's suburban backyards are not what they were a generation or two ago. Or at least they don't have to be - not with all the available upgrades possible.
While tastes changes and styles comes and go, some things are perennial - like barbecues - and knowing what make the best upgrades for your backyard space is important.

The drought conditions in the US have not improved and water restrictions are looming, which is why having a low water yard is more important than ever.
Oftentimes this means removing some or most of your lawn and existing plants so they can be replaced with hardscape elements and low water grasses and shrubs. And that can mean a large amount of yard waste to get rid of.
