I just paid a dang fortune to replace my septic system, which is in my yard I have worked so hard on for years to grow grass after the house was a rental for over 20 years.
We have clay soil so drainage was and is bad, so we had to have a larger than planned leech field (rock bed style). The man did not recommend that we plan grass, but agreed we could do drought tolerant if we HAD to.
We are in Northeaster Colorado, very dry and very windy. I am looking into doing xeriscaping, with drought tolerate plants, bushes, rock and so forth.
I am looking for some nice websites that would have some landscape ideas incorperating plants into it that I could see. My yard is a rectangle and we can enter it from either the left or right side. Some native grass in the center would be nice, but all along the sides I would like to create some nice decorative beds. and along the house if I can. Anyone know where I can find someplace with some good layouts I could take a look at? It is all open to sun, no shade.
