I need some backyard landscaping designs to get ideas for my own yard. Is there a website where I can find these? Or if you can send me the design or your backyard it would be appreciated. I live in arizona and have a fairly big backyard any ideas (ie. what plants, trees rocks, grass, stone walkways etc.) thanks

I was looking for something else and came acrossed a website that offers tips on finding good landscape software. The sidebar to the left on the site shows available software. Here it is. Hope it helps!

Me and my friend Danny wrecking shop on my backyard.

I have a 25' X 66' backyard that I'll need to landscape. I think I'll want a concrete patio somewhere around 10' x 12' feet at the sliding glass door. A 1' stuccoed retaining wall about 2' from the back fence, and grass every where else. What do you think it will to do each a) if I have someone do it, and b) if I am patient and do it myself?

I would have the contractor do the cement work, you can do it yourself a little cheaper, but for a pad that size there are a lot of things that can go wrong. At least if the contractor screws it up, he is on the hook to fix it.

The grass part all depends on what type of grass, if you start from seed or go with sod. Seed is definately cheaper ( $30.00 to $100.00 depending on the type you use) sod is easier, and is fully grown when you buy it. However it will cost alot more than seed.

Price: $8.97

I have a smaller back yard but we have this Mound that goes up to the back brick wall and underneath the mound is all concrete so I can't dig into it. Its almost the full length of our backyard.

Any thoughts as to what to do with it?
It is concrete underneath but dirt on top.

There are quite a few sites that will give you good ideas for your backyard. Try:
http://www.myidealgarden.com/ or
http://www.the-landscape-design-site.com /backyardlandscaping.html
I found those two had great ideas, but there are a lot more if you want to check. Just Google 'backyard landscape designs' for a big list.

As far as your concrete problem goes, I have an idea, but it depends on where you live. If the conditions are ok, succulents would be a good choice, as the roots are shallow and they require very little care and are very easy to grow. Try this site and see what you think:

Looking for some inspirational landscaping ideas for the backyard.

A good backyard landscaping idea is to use evergreens. They will add a stately nature to the feel of your home while keeping it welcoming and warm. Many people like to use deciduous trees in the yard but a better idea is to use evergreens. Evergreens give the yard the structure and stability it needs for a good backyard landscaping idea and design.

Another good backyard landscaping idea is to use hardscape. This is the use of things like rocks, fences and walls. These can make your yard look very interesting during all of the seasons. You can have climbing plants on it in the summer & spring and trees around it that will look great in winter.

We have a lot of them, and I'd like to use them in a display somehow, but have no idea where to begin. I searched the internet and found ideas for displaying one or a few shells, or displaying in jars, but no ideas for using them in the yard.

If you have so many that they could be used as mulch for a whole planting bed, then I would consider using them. On the other hand, if you intend to place a few here and there as decorations I would simply advise against it. Littering a garden or planting bed with garden gnomes, inscribed stones, windsocks, and other such schlock is terribly tacky. Don't do that to your garden.
