One word..... BEAUTIFUL !

Thanks for all the comments - love landscaping and have been able to do quite a few other yards for neighbors and friends as a side hobby more than a job. You can see more of thoses pictures here along with a few other shots of my yard.

Patty - Terie / Not a fan of barriers, they never work. Save your money. Just Roundup then rocks on top. Every now and then I spray Roundup on whatever weeds pop up. Easy to take care of and no mowing there !

To all above. The red flowers are a " Red Yucca " plant ! Very cold hardy. The palms ( the ones that have very little fronds )the picture was taken when they were first planted, it is called " Hurricane Cut " and they must be trimmed this way to establish a root system. Once established they grow a much larger and natural head. The other palms are Windmill Palms and will survive down to zero deg. F and lower at times. To understand the " the white " bridge - look at the picture of the porch. I have a white farm house. All the best, Bill
