Private paradise front-yard-landscaping-ideas for any yard!

landscaping ideas

There are so many different back and front-yard-landscaping-ideas that a person can get overwhelmed wondering what to do. We all want our yards to look like a garden paradise with many different kinds of flowers, plants and trees.

My knowledge on landscaping is limited, but I have really good resources that know their stuff. I decided to go to St. George, Utah where my wife's brothers operate a very successful landscaping business.

beautiful scenery



I picked St. George, Utah for many reasons. This is basically a desert oasis. It's an oasis because people made it one with irrigation systems.

If you can get things to grow in a desert, you should be able to get things to grow anywhere. That was my first reason, but St. George also has many micro-climates because of the moisture levels, varying soil types, and different altitudes.

Different micro-climates gives a beautiful variety of landscaping ideas within a small geographical area.
