Landscaping update

Landscapers came out to the house today to look it over and write up a quote. While they were out here we decided the proposal would include some things. In the front, it would be a desert theme. No grass and alot of cactus and that kind of stuff. Some big rocks and who knows what else. Very little upkeep!!!! So then we go to the back yard and we are going to go with a tropical theme. It's going to have some palm tree type things. Some other plants. Some vines on the walls and it would also have a small pond/water feature in it. Please understand pond is the word they used, but there is no way it's anything near a pond. It would be more like a kiddie pool with a motor in it to keep the water moving. Plus the water feature would be right outside the bedroom window, so that would be nice. Time will tell what will really happen, ok, lets be honest, money will tell what will really happen.
