This property uses most of the landscape for a fenced-in backyard and leaves little that needs landscaping in the front, side and very back. These areas are planted with ornamental grasses that are cut down in the spring and mulched with a rock mulch that will require attention to weeding on occasion. Because the grasses are planted rather densely, this shades the area underneath making weeds more manageable. This is a nice example of how to plant in a rock mulch for a nice look.
