BONES. NEED MORE BONES.

[not my garden, post is temporary for illustration, credit unknown, found on net, sigh]

 

Requirement for yard: MUST HAVE BONES.

 

There's a great rock place just up the highway. Problem is that the little veedub --- workhorse though it may be -- could hardly handle a 400-lb rock on its rear axle. That might be pushing it, but a good yard design needs bones.

 

So often it seems people underestimate the value of having bones to give the yard a solidity, a weight to balance the impact of a lot of green and/or flowers. Then again, nothing is uglier (at least to this lizard) than a flat yard with grass all evenly trimmed leading to straight-edged beds with flowers going from shortest in front to tallest in back, and then a bush smacked next to each side of the front door.

 

Oh, wait, that's what we've currently got. No wonder cringing happens when seeing the house's front. Oi.
