Design ideas for a mid-sized southwestern drought-tolerant and full sun backyard concrete paver landscaping in Phoenix with a fire pit for summer.

This beautiful front yard landscape has a paver walk way way with a paver entry way as well. The focal point of the landscape is the raised stucco planter with the palm tree in it. Sitting under the windows of the house, there are columns that have copper planters with sculptural desert plants and in the garden beds are yellow flowering plants. All of this is tied nicely together with the green of the artificial turf!!

Jacky Surber This garden is only a year old! Thanks to quarterly applications of compost tea it is really thriving. Healthy soil makes for healthy plants and a lush look soon after planting. Bright orange kalanchoe 'Flap jacks' and aloe blossoms contrast with the subtle blues and greens from the surrounding foliage of dymondia ground cover and other succulents.

Inside the courtyard walls, the gardens are an integral part of the house. The perennial gardens here consist of Shasta daisies, Moonshine yarrow, hollyhocks, dianthus, scabiosa, catmint, silver mound artemisia, santiliona and salvia. Photographed by Phil Steinhauer
