Copper gutters!

Maybe instead of gutters, do shutters. B/W are traditional, but colors are great too. Landscape needs some pops of color and maybe less grass within rocks. Try mulch for a punch of brown. All of all places, Better Homes and Gardens have excellent landscape plans for all. http://www.bhg.com/gardening/landscaping-projects/landscape-plans/

I agree with copper gutters. I put large ones on my home and I have the same siding as you. Don't know if you can see gutters. But here is pic.

Thanks for the suggestions. What color shutters? Which windows? It doesn't show well in the pics, but the roof is green. I appreciate landscape suggestions, but mulch is not an option. My chickens make a big mess of it. Inside the rock border the green ground cover is periwinkle/ vinca minor.
