Default A wonderful backyard landscaping idea.

Check out this article for landscaping your backyard. It's a pretty
good idea.

Vast majority of trees in my yard and surrounding area are live oak and
juniper ashe (blueberry). The former, though not an actual evergreen, might
as well be. Both look like the rest of the native area, boring.

The pasture type fence around the yard is great. But, it supports an
electrified wire to keep the dogs from digging under the fence. The
weedeater thing has burned out. Roundup is the last measure. The
electrified wire cannot be grounded out by excessive foliage. Otherwise, it
won't work.

The rock wall holding back soil over the over elevated native elevation
looks great. Needs alot of trimming with weedeater. Roundup or other
herbicide is out of the question. If used to keep the rock wall barren of
grass, soil will quickly erode.
