Here are a few scans from the Sunset Western Garden book.

Idea for back of lot. Nice home from Wyoming. I like the way they've blended the natural grasses into the natural landscape.

Example example of the kind of low maintenance landscaping Dave would like to see. Lavendar, day lillies, and grasses.

More natural landscape/xeriscaping.

Sweet looking natural hot tub. I like the way they integrated the boulders.

Wisteria is beautiful. Not too cold to grow here?

A fun fence using random objects.

Not sure that we like the ground outside firepit (fireplace might be better), but we do like the low wall that frames the outside view.

Nice gravel paths with stone borders and boxwood. We don't want something so symetrical, but concept is good.

Nice grasses with boulders.
