Silver Buffaloberry is one of my go-to plants for edges and really tough dry places. Its a native to Colorado and has beautiful silvery leaves. It is one of the first plants to flower in the spring, even when the nights are freezing. As the bees adventure out, they really appreciate the Buffaloberry. It also forms a relationship with beneficial bacteria in its roots which 'fix' nitrogen in the soil, allowing it to thrive in poor dry soils. Its toughness and nitrogen fixing ability make it a perfect 'pioneer' to increase soil fertility and open the way for more tender and sensitive plants. Additionally its berries are edible and hang on the branches from mid summer until late fall. The berries are astringent and slightly soapy, definitely not a choice sweet berry, but quite interesting and a joy for birds in the fall and winter.

At this property in Sugar Land, we renovated the front yard landscaping by adding easy care plants that are freeze resistant and can take the summer sun as well. We also installed French Vanilla Dry Stack stone on a cement stabilized sub-base as the border around the beds and trees for a beautiful, clean look.

An 8-foot-wide addition to the end of this mid-century modern gem of a home designed by the well-known local modernist architect Robert Metcalf allowed the former galley kitchen to be enlarged and modernized. The eating nook and the kitchen were flipped, moving the kitchen closer to the garage and the eating area to the end of the house to take advantage of the gorgeous view. Clean lines, glass tile backsplashes, and a glass breakfast counter give the home an update that fits beautifully with the original architect’s design. The breezeway between the garage and the house was partially filled in to become a small mud room and a walk-in pantry. Contractor: D.A. Haig Contracting LLC Photos: Emily Rose Imagery

A raised berm is planted with native shrubs to create privacy from the street. Native buffalo grass is a nice drought tolerant turf grass. While it can tend to get patchy over time, it can be seeded with a Habiturf mix to create biodiversity that helps the lawn persist over time. Mexican Bird of Paradise, related to the Pride of Barbados seen all over Austin, is more freeze hardy and has beautiful cream and magenta flowers.

The dropped deck on this Caribbean vacation rental, Deja View in St. John US Virgin Islands was the answer to opening the V I E W! This ordinary rectangular pool was converted into a modern infinity edge pool. Beautiful Dominican Republic Coral Stone covers the deck for over 5,000 sq. feet. Coral stone was a great choice since it stays cool to the touch and the porous nature is not a problem in the Caribbean where it never freezes. The freezing of wet, porous surfaces can cause expansion and cracking. Deja View sleeps up to 17 guests, so we created many seating and lounging areas in and out of the sun. The Jaccuzzi is sunken down into the deck in the corner providing open views of the Caribbean, St. Croix and St. Thomas. Many textures were used in the building materials including glass tile, white pebble rocks, redwood, coral stone and dry stack rock. www.dejaviewvilla.com Steve Simonsen Photography
