Our front "lawn" is quite large and steep, so in an effort to be more water wise, I wanted to hardscape the bottom section. There will be no plants in the areas with red lava rock, and underneath those rocks is a layer of cardboard and then a layer of landscaping fabric. The light colored stone bed has the same underlayment with holes cut out for xeriscape plants. Our ornamental rocks also are a feature. The woodchip bed is the original flower bed from past owners, and it had some day lilies already in place. Other plants are ones I added. By the end of the summer it became apparent that flowers in the pots won't work as the deer constantly pulled them out which caused the roots to dry out. The older daylilies might as well be removed because the deer nibble the leaves and eat every flower bud right before they bloom.
