A gardening expert offers advice on the right kind of trees and shrubs to select, the best spot to plant them, and even the kind of perennials to use to fill in the spaces while trees and shrubs are growing to their mature heights.

Water-wise landscape
Article Abstract:
Bob Mathews found that local plants continuously fill his Texas Hill Country yard with brilliant colors, and many of them naturally come back every year as reseeding annuals, and they don't even need to be watered.

Little lawns
Article Abstract:
The amount of time spent mowing can easily be cut back by reducing the size of lawn area in a yard. Lawns can be hemmed back and shaped with clean lines of a stone or brick patio. Landscaping with borders comprised of black stone or red brick can add color and contrast to the yard.
