A Garden You Can Live In

This Texas garden is made for relaxing with plenty of outdoor living options, including a comfy deck and patio.

Front Yard

 

Easy-Care Front Yard

Forgoing grass, the Schroeders created a beautiful, low-maintenance front yard on their West Texas lot. Note how they used a flagstone path to enhance their landscape's rustic feel.

Test Garden Tip: Use billowy grasses to help soften the cold, harsh feel hardscaping can have in your landscape. To make the yard truly low-maintenance, select native plants or those adapted to your region.
