A refined material palette modernizes this conventional 60′s ranch-home’s yard. Repetition of materials like stone, ipe and concrete combine beautifully to form a bold and contemporary garden.

Layered walls perform double duty as both sculpture and a way to define gathering spaces. Contrasting leaf textures and hues harmonize with the hardscape, and plant masses add their colorful statement to the canvas.

Spray fruit trees. None of our fruit trees are native to our areas, so they need a little extra care right now and will benefit from a spray schedule to prevent diseases. Apple, peach, pear, apricot and plum trees need to be sprayed regularly. There are different sprays to be applied at various times throughout the cool months, so be sure to check with your local county extension office or trusted nursery about when to spray your fruit trees to keep them healthy.

Mulch. A 3-inch layer of mulch around all plantings will maintain soil moisture and deter weeds. In Texas use a Texas native hardwood mulch, which is shredded and resists moving during a hard rain. Mulches such as bark chips or nuggets have a tendency to wash away, leaving the soil bare and creating a maintenance issue.Irrigate. New plantings need regular irrigation to establish deep roots. Try to water toward the base of the plant rather than on the plant's leaves (which could create fungal problems); water more deeply and less often, and always follow any watering guidelines that exist in your area.More regional gardening guides
