Here in Australia we are going through a prolonged dry period know as a drought.

Many people have turned to landscaping with stones to cope with the water restrictions.

But landscaping with stones needs not to be boring. I am presenting here three ideas  you can explore to spice up your imagination.

In the photo below an unusual and pleasant retaining wall has been achieved  by combining blue stone with white pebbles.   The drought tolerant plants on top of the retaining wall complete the purpose of this arrangement.

What about creating some doodles on your front yard? This photo is a good example of creativity. Look at the curves of the black stones which complement the retaining wall and the driveway’s concrete.

What about  big pots and stones? This layout is one of my favourites. Notice how the grey stones, the pinkish pavers and the black big pots perfectly combine to produce an incredible landscape.

 If you have some ideas for our drought problem don’t hesitate to share them here.

 Hasta la vista.
