Are you looking at taking out our lawn but don't know where to start? Do you want to take out a small portion of your lawn? What can you do if you don't have the money to take out the entire lawn? When I started to take out my lawn several years ago I didn't know where to start. I'm a gardener not a landscaper. My idea of a landscape is if it lives it's good. Well, I needed a better plan than that. I found 3 landscape plans on the UC Davis Arboretum website.
This 10 x 10 foot landscape plan was developed by the UC Davis Arboretum. It's nice and compact. I have several of these plants in my garden. I have the Berberis, Ceanothus, Iris and Salvia in my garden. They are doing well and I think they can do well for you.
Here is a link to the Arboretum website. If you click on the right hand column there are 2 other landscape plans.
