Here is a landscaping project I did the summer of 1999. 

Here is what the front yard looked like before I started working. Here you can see how badly they needed landscaping. Another angle. There yard was so dry and just full of weeds before I started. Here is the trench for a small retaining wall which will help keep the hill in place.
Another angle of the front before I put in the retaining wall. You can see here how much of an incline I had to work with. With the retaining wall in place I began the planting. I planted 37 flats of ground cover, 3-5 gallon plants, and over 25-1 gallon plants.
I used 6 rolls of shade cloth and it seemed like the flats of ground cover went for ever. I installed 11 irrigation circuits and over 3,500 feet of piping. You see here some of the 8 Tons of Arizona flagstone I installed. It took some 6 yards of concrete to install the flagstone.
As you can see, everything was done by hand giving the yard a wonderful look. The walk way is complete and planting was next. This is the finished yard, with 3,600 Sq. Ft. of sod. I think it turned out nice. I think the house has real curb appeal now, and I know it is a pleasure to come home to.
