Kathy, do you like this planting with phormium and maybe the mexican feather grass or blue fescue if there is enough room?

We can make the top right and the lower planter look like a mini version of this. Even the planters on the other side of the garage. What do you think, Kathy? The top tier is for tomatoes.

imagine blue fescue planted on either side of a curvy or straight dg path along the tree.

I love how the silver goes with the burgundy color.

I posted this so you can see how blue fescue looks planted en masse.

cool grass and a compliment to Mexican Feather Grass

for additional stairs perhaps in backyard?

Purple and silver. Forget those walls.

Backyard perhaps? Its good to have one or a few of the same plants planted throughout, in addition to the established ones.

How about something like this path with Blue Fescue planted on either side?
Q

Grasses can look cool but messy when mixed in with other plants. Two plants together might be nice. This and Limonium or Sea Lavendar? Or perhaps this and Leucadendron Jester? Do you like the look of grasses?
Both: Yes, we really like these
Q

Something like this for front of the wall? Not too small, though.
Both: No, only because it would be between the wall and (under) the tree
Q

Nice combo/easy care for the back for continuity (planted sporadically).
Ken: generally, do not like succulents
Q

Is this what husband wants? Bamboo on the left or Equisetem on the right. Bamboo grows tall and equistem can look sparse and has high water
Both: Either is fine
Q

Ken: don't like
Q

Both: like the grass in foreground
Q

leucadendron jester and asparagus densiflorus Myers, senecio cylindricus and dymondia. Do you like these plants (minus the big one in back) and colors, Kathy? Some Agave Attenuata Ray of light or perhaps some pretty Aeonium sunburst would also look nice with this.
Both: only like the tufts in front

Is this what your husband would like? Bamboo on the left or Equisetem on the right. Most Bamboo grows tall and equistem can look sparse and has high water needs. It can look good if you don't mind watering.

Equisetum can look spindly. unless it gets lots of water.

A suggestion for the area next to the front door (where the garage roof is overhanging) if you decide to keep it simple and modern.
