This front yard gets creative with landscaping without bluegrass. The dry streambed and various mulch areas help break up large spaces and create areas to leave unplanted and other areas to plant. The plants in this landscape are trees, shrubs and ornamental grasses that need very little maintenance and only a few flowering perennials that need a little more maintenance. This yard creates a unified look by repeating mulch and plants on both sides of the driveway and the parkway, giving this mountain xeriscape a complete look.
