Landscape Ideas

Debbie likes the native grasses, plants and flowers that require minimal water and maintenance.
Jason is interested in keeping some of the green grass.
We have some ideas:
1) a low rock wall that serves as a barrier between yard and driveway
2) native grasses (maybe in a raised bed) that also serve as a barrier
3) raised vegetable gardens in the south side of the front yard
4) rip out all the grass on the sides of the house and replace with a sand or rock path that leads to back yard
5) create some sort of barriers with trees, tall grasses, or vines on the north side of the front yard (property line with neighbor)
6) create a path that goes around the front yard that the kids can walk or bike around
7) in the middle of the yard (around which the path goes) can be some grass, or native grasses, or other small plot of easy-to-care for plants and flowers
