Landscaping - I currently have a wooden deck. I would like to remove the grass around this deck and cover it with flag stones (not sure if that's what they are called) but big flat stones like in the picture with the lemon and orange trees. Is this a possibility ? If so, what would your opinion be to do something like this ? I would like to have trees and flower beds around the periphery of the back yard. Thank you very kindly. »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Crazy for Fruit Trees
Orange and lemon trees provide welcome color in a shaded setting, plus the fruit is right at hand for a juicy treat on a hot day.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Harvest the Bounty of a Patio Garden
This space may have just enough room for a table and four chairs, but the fruit around it is abundant. If citrus isn't an option in your area, look for other dwarf fruit trees or turn the surrounding space into a vegetable extravaganza, with lettuces and other cool-season plants near the tree and the sun lovers out at the edges.
