Landscaping?

I thought I was through with landscaping when I sold my house. I just spent most of the day planning out our lot at Lake Havasu. I need to make it as maintenance free as possible since we aren’t going to spend a lot of time here. I also want to make it as simple as possible because I don’t want to spend my time digging, planting, and moving things around. I think I am going to add mostly concrete and artificial turf and leave a lot of the existing gravel. I will just lay out a irrigation system and plug in a few plants here and there.

Every evening we sit out and watch the sunset over the mountains. Sometimes it is pretty spectacular and others it is just a simple sunset but it is always one of the best times of the day. Everything quiets down, the air gets still and the temperature is a nice 90 degrees, a big relief from the 100+ days we have been having.
