We are looking to landscape our backyard into a nice Topical/modern look or into a Tuscan/Mediterranean look. Not sure what plants we can use for Tuscany look in zone 10A. Tropical plants are what most are using in our area, but we are trying to go outside from the norm and stand out.

We started by removing all old hedges, weeds, vines and shrubs to leave us with a blank canvas to start.

Majority of the landscaping will used to cover/mask our white vinyl fence line and give our backyard some more color and depth.

We are interested in any landscape design, pointers, help, etc for this project.

We have a L shaped backyard around our screened in pool area. One side being about 95' long and 25' wide and the other about 85' and approximately 22' wide.
