Love the combo of stone and planting to create cozy environment

Q

Looks like our retaining walls but cleaner!

Love how they lined the paths with rock boundary

Q

Love the landscaping and hard scrape color combo

Q

Photo

Not sure what this yellow ground covering is but I like it

Q

Photo

Dislike - I'm not a fan of how much grass and drought resistant planting here. I'd like a splash at least of rosemary, lavender, bouganvilla, or other heat tolerant plants.

Q

Photo

Love the use of bushes with different heights, texture, and color here at each level of the retaining wall

Q

Photo

Dislike - Too many boulders here though the moss covering is nice.

Q

Photo

Like the use of color and height in plantings. Would like this more if it had a bit more color beyond the white grasses

Q

Photo

Dislike - Way too much stonework here between the stacked walls and walkways. More contrast needed

Q

Photo

Dislike - The boulders placed in the middle of mulch with nothing around. Looks like someone forgot to remove them during demolition.

Q

Photo

Like the different heights used in planting behind the retaining wall with lavender and then some tall grass

Q

Photo

Beautiful retaining wall with landscaping paired in front of a shingled house

Q

Photo

Love this landscaping with the retaining wall to create different levels or dimensions and texture with planting
