| A backyard view of the Peterson property in Payson, Utah. This story appeared in the print edition of The Payson Chronicle.
When we were discussing what type of
landscaping we would like, it wasn't a hard decision to make. We
came here from Wisconsin, because property tax was too high there-
so, anyway, we decided that desert landscaping was our way to go.
To cut a long story short, I called
around and found Nephi Stone & Gravel for our colored rock. Then
we found chocolate lava rock and put plastic down first, and then
added a decorative border.
Most people use such narrow borders in
their landscaping. I thought I'd use large and sweepingly graceful
flower beds, which we filled with different shades of green, then
flowers, and then the big oval in the center of the front yard. I
spent a lot of time running out into the middle of the road to see
how everything looked from afar.
All of this is watered by a drip
system. As you all know, we live in a desert, so this really does
save a lot of water.
We finished it off by decorating it
with large rocks and cement deer, gnomes, rabbits, etc.
