Landscaping - I'd like your opinions and pictures

We just had the landscaping around our pool finished about 3 weeks ago. Want to get some pictures up here, but just haven't taken the time.

We had windmill palms put in. They are very cold tolerant. Don't know how cold you get there in your part of TX. The jelly palms are very nice looking also. We have oleander also. Love the look of them. The landscaper used some knockout roses throughout. I really like the look of them and they bloom from spring all the way through November here. They are easy to maintain, aren't prone to disease like most roses, stay full and bushy (not long and lanky like some), and give lots of color.

Good luck with your landscaping. It really polishes everything off after living with a bomb crater through most of the pool build process.

We also have wax myrtles around our equipment. We like them because they grow fast are very drought and cold tolerant. The NC Dept of Transportation plants them everywhere to landscape roadsides, so it is a hardy shrub. I was told the slight scent repels fleas and ticks (not sure about that is true but our dogs and cat don't seem to have a problem).

Here is my landscaping package, including sod all around the backyard . Budget 1500.00 here in Austin, TX.

Looks good. I like the rocks with your water feature - kind of a southwest look.
