A flagstone & decomposed granite (DG) walkway bordered by different size & colors of rock.The long walkway winds through drought-tolerant beds with a small boulder, DG, palms and drought tolerant plants.

This backyard was a jungle - tearing out the old deck, leveling with boulders adding boulder steps and a flagstone patio along with new lawn and plants made for a fantastic makeover. Doing the patio out of decomposed granite helped with the budget as well.

The custom designed and built bench protects the aesthetic calm of the front garden patio. It provides an excellent view of the neighborhood as well as the hummingbirds drawn by pink Alumroot bells, the sweet fragrance and magic wand-like blooms of Hummingbird Sage blooms, as well as the water feature.
