This one sure would be better if they had stopped the plastic edging where the stone wall began. And Sedum spurium makes a cute trailer over another wall.
Chunky is nice.
And so is a nicely sliced slate wall.
We found some nice paving.
And of course some lovely plantings.
We thought this one looked like a howling bunny.
Some dramatic strappy-leaved plants:
And even Rockridge has some ugly yards and messed up houses.
And I'm not sure what to make of this place other than my assumption that they might have control issues.
Oh well, each to his own. It keeps the neighborhood more interesting.
In the control house, is that actually grass under the rose tree, or astro-turf?
ReplyDeleteLovely low wall plantings, pavings and dramatic plants-its so nice when people take the effort to beautify their yards. The "control issue" pics had me laughing!
ReplyDeleteWow too much beauty with the side by side gorgeous Phormium and variegated Agave. I could stare at those all day long.
ReplyDeleteAt the control house I wondered the same thing as Les, that has got to be fake grass!
The concrete retaining wall is my favorite too. So very glad your camera accompanies you on these excursions!
ReplyDeleteLes and Loree - yep, it's that faux grass that is gaining popularity. Wonder how that stuff is going to age...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is that low concrete wall too! Creates the illusion of a contained party :) And that control issue one is classic... used to have a couple in my old neighborhood that loved that fake grass stuff. At least it kept the neighborhood pets off.
