  • Landscape designer/contractor Steve McDearmon of Garden Rhythms (Southern CA) uses dramatic succulents with swaths of rock. See more of Steve's gardens in the completely revised and updated second edition of Designing with Succulents. Rocks are: Mojave Gold gravel, Hickory Creek rubble rock, and Honey Quartz boulders (all from Southwest Boulder and Stone).

    The colors of the rocks are so soothing and blend with each other so well.

      I agree! And they blend with the surrounding hills and granite boulders.

    I just think it’s so sweet and so cool that you make the effort to speak Spanish to the landscaper. ❤❤❤

      Thank you! I love the Spanish language, but I don't speak it nearly as well as I'd like to. Nevertheless I occasionally impose on native speakers to indulge me.

      Yes, very sweet way to say si es basura es mi basura. To be honest that sounded a bit pretentious and rude.

      @@Brittloren00 I’m not saying is rude to speak on another language, in fact it is a very nice gesture, but it is rude the way she suggested to that man that those shoots are hers, just assuming that he is going to take them with him. Just 5 miserable shoots.

      Great idea, Justin! I'll plan on doing a follow-up. Some of those plants, like the blue ceroids and the tree aloe (both situated against white walls), are going to be amazing!
