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:

Make your outdoor hot tub area beautiful with these landscaping tips

Now that you have a gorgeous hot tub outside in your backyard, why not let it set the stage for the rest of the space? The exterior of your home is just as important as the interior and can be a potential advantage when selling your house. Hot tubs can act as a valuable asset to one’s home. Your hot tub acts as the focal point of relaxation, but did you know that you can build around it to make it even more appealing? Transforming your backyard into an outdoor oasis is easier than you might think. Want to change your outdoor space but are on a budget? Apollo Spas carries cheap hot tubs to fit any sized home. Here are some landscaping ideas to try:

A little greenery goes a long way. Landscaping doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply add a couple planters or pots, with some of your favourite shrubs or flowers. You can line them up for a modern effect, situate them at each hot tub corner, or place them at each side of the hot tub stairs to enhance the entryway. If you don’t want to worry about pruning, use trees/plants that don’t grow significantly (Bonsai trees are a great example).
Privacy can be pretty. Building or setting up a hot tub gazebo is another great way to ensure privacy while dressing up your outdoor area. A gazebo helps to distinguish the hot tub as the focal point and acts a saviour when it comes to rainy weather.
Perk up the place with pebbles: Hot tubs look wonderful around the elements of nature. Why not incorporate stones around your hot tub? You can find or purchase different varieties of stone and align them around the hot tub or create a unique rock garden nearby. It’s an easy way to make your hot tub look elegant without a lot of effort.
Apollo Spas has a wide selection of cheap hot tubs to fit your budget. Visit Apollo Spas, Seattle online http://www.apollospas.com/ to view their hot tubs, hot tub accessories, outdoor structures and gazebos. They offer a wide variety of cheap hot tubs to choose from.

Any ideas on landscaping 10 x 18 courtyard?

my townhouse has a small courtyard between house and gararge that I would like to make more appealing, it’s completly enclosed, gets good light and is in full view of the dining room. I want to make it into a low maintenance garden area with a lot of green and a lot of color. Right now I’m kicking around ideas, anyone know of some nice, colorful, type plants( shade giving plants would be nice) that would do well in a small area? Any other interesting ideas would be good as well.Also, I live in southeast Texas and I’m a very lazy gardener, so these have to be low maintenance plants,

Impatience is a very colorful plant and easy to care for.

I also have a plant that is called Hens and chicks. They multiply very quick and do well in shade or sun. You just can’t kill them. I started out with one plant and from there I have several gardens, just full. I’ve given many, many away. I’ve dug them up and just put them in a bucket and not planted them for day’s and when I plant them they come right back. I live in NJ where we have all seasons. They have been covered with snow, rain, sleet and sun etc. Nothing hurts them. As you can see I love this plant.

Another good plant,easy to grow, is a Hosta. Their green, some have white strips and they produce tall purple flowers. They can get very large.

Also petunias are a beautiful flower. They bloom all summer and come in a rainbow of colors. Easy care and they will bring humming birds to you back yard.

One more thing. If you have a small back yard, think of putting in a small pond. No fish, just plants. It’s pretty and the birds love it. Not to mention you will enjoy it.
Hope I’ve helped.

I own a lawn and landscaping business. How do I sub contract work that I am not able to do myself?

I think the smartest way to do this is to hire someone, that way you pay them and collect the money. If you do this correctly you should make some money. You probably want to make sure they are bonded or carry workers compensation insurance. Or you can also ask someone with a landscaping business for a referral fee and set up a network of jobs. Good luck!
