Can anyone refer to me to some good websites with photos of landscape ideas?

I live in Southern California and with the recent water shortage I would like to relandscape my front yard with drought friendly plants, gravel and rocks keeping the lawn minimal. I am looking for websites with photos and great ideas that I can borrow. Thanks!

Here’s some pictures of rock /stone landscaping:

What is the best camouflage patterns for hunting in these areas of Texas?

I will be hunting in deep East Texas and a ranch in South Texas that borders Mexico.

I know the landscapes and trees are different from my visits to each, but am curious to see what camouflage patterns are best for these areas? Is there one that would work well for both since I will not be hunting either on a regular basis?

Please include links with your answers so I can see what the pattern looks like.

What’s the terrain like?

Yes, camo is just camo, but if you wear the wrong pattern, you’ll stick out like a sore thumb.

For example, the camo patterns I use now, I wouldn’t use in North Georgia- the terrain is different.

Something like this may work:
http://www.realtree.com/camo/apg.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/ap.php
The above 2 links are about the same pattern, the first one has more green to it than the 2nd one does.

Here’s the links to other camo patterns they offer (leaving the snow one and wetlands one out)
http://www.realtree.com/camo/max1.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/classic.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/timber.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/hardwoods.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/hardwoodsGreen.php
With all the links, it also gives you pictures to see how it would look against the woods.

Here are some other patterns:

Is it safe to use landscaping fabric around established trees with an exposed root system?

I have a large maple tree about 30 years old with a partially exposed root system. It is difficult to mow around the roots and I would like to place landscaping fabric around the tree and cover the fabric with pine straw mulch. Then I could set potted plants around it. The root system is so dense that my attempts with planting hostas and caladiums has been futile.

I would think that would be fine, we’ve put it around old trees before without any problems.

how do i go about starting a landscape business in San Diego?

I just moved here and would like to start a landscape business but I am unsure what steps to take first. I’m sure I need a business license but don’t know where to go.

If you’ve never been in business before, I would strongly recomment that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. I’d call the local office of SCORE in San Diego: https://www.score-sandiego.org/ the advice is FREE.

The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a landscaping business and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you’ll concentrate on (your market ) and how you’ll go after them.

Try this link :

and read some of the articles especially the ones about a business plan and starting a business.

Good Luck

What can I call my new photography company?

I am planning to launch a photography company selling images of Wild Life and Landscapes but I need a name.

So far the best I’ve come up with is Going Wild Photography LTD.

Does anyone have any great ideas of a name.

The name needs to be loosely based on what I do, so wild life, landscape, natural world, photography.

Hope there are some good ideas out there.
Unfortunately my name is taken.

There is a MichaelSinclair.com and a MichaelSinclair.co.uk web site already out there

For my photographer self business (lol)
I just used my name. In my opinion people are more likely to remember a persons name then some business name even if it is based on what you do.
My business is called Leigh Wall Photography simple and easy to remember and most of the time people remember the Leigh Wall part. :)
However if you are deadest of the relation part I’d go with something like Natural Looks Photography or Wild Captures.
