Front Yard Landscape Design

This colorful landscape design shows just what can be done with a slope! Masses of perennials with different textures and heights add to the interest. This is a real summer splash of color and most of the plants are relatively low maintenance. Originally a very rocky slope, a retaining wall was built using existing boulders (almost hidden by all the plants!) and some of these interesting rocks were left in place.
