The big maple in my front yard has always made it difficult to keep the lawn healthy, blocking rain and sun. We decided to go full no regular grass and added lots of rocks, mulch, drought resistant plants, bushes, and tall grasses.

Very happy with the 'dry riverbed' front design and results of both the front and side. I'm looking forward to seeing the vegetation grow into full size, which will be quite a difference from even the fresh finished look!
