It's most likely a stained cedar, cypress, or redwood. These species are most rot resistant. Wood siding does need to be maintained & restained at intervals.

The elements of a typical Southwestern garden could be custom made for a contemporary landscape. The plantings are sparse, typical of an area where rainfall is scarce. The hardscaping materials mimic the colors of the house, allowing the landscaping to feel like it is an extension of the home rather than a separate space. The single tree, with its sculptural form, is the only statement piece needed for this entry.
It's not as cozy as other looks, but I really like the simple geometry, cool arrangement, mix of wood and concrete, large centered windows. If anything were an option, it might be some version of this.
Repeating bands appear in this entry garden in a slightly different way. The long, horizontal pathway gains a rhythmic vibe because each piece staggers to the left or right of center. Visually, this is exciting to view and to traverse. Ground covers planted between each band help to soften the otherwise stark installation.
