Landscaping Ideas, Designs & Pictures

I am planting a meditation garden, that has moderate to deep shade. I already have Kentucky Bluegrass and Hostas installed, but am looking for some other ideas for color. Suggestions, anybody?

My satellite signal is being blocked by my landscaping, trees and bushes. I need to be able to mark the exact spot that needs trimming so I don't have to cut and trim my greenery needlessly. I need it to shoot about 50 feet or so. What will work best for me? I don't need a mask or any equipment to play with, I just need it for this one task. Any help? What do I need to buy? Thanks!

I Live in Western Washington where it's always wet. I live in the middle of a watershed park with lots of trees, so my yard gets mostly shade. I would like to make my yard look more maintained without actually doing much to it. All I've done so far is plant some primroses which are doing really well. Any suggestions for low maintenance, preferable cheap plants?

Now the grass is very bumpy. Besides ripping up the grass and resoding, are there any options to get the grass level?

We sowed in the fall on dirt and it didn't come up. We tried fertilizer and watering. The water company dug an entire ditch that kept settling and over time they filled it. It is now completely like a dirt plot. Most of the dirt is hard and clumpy almost like rocks. We are trying to get it to have a nice even look. What kind of grass is the easiest to get started? How should we seed in April?

What kind of cross would you perform?

I am thinking of planting a row of Kousa Dogwood trees along my property. I live in zone 6. I was just wondering if you are happy with your tree. Does it bloom well? How does it look in the fall? And most important, Does the fruit make a big mess? Also do birds and animals eat the fruit? I was considering Milky Way Select. Do you recommend another variety? Why? Thank you for all of your help!

my mom wants to know what the branches are that come off the bark of her japanese maple

the inside of the flower is white,the outside is purple.
it is more like a vine.

The pods have three wings and change from pink to green.
When you look at them from above you can see three white seeds inside. The tree is very decorative and seems to be very common in Israel especially in the parks. I thought it may be from Acacia family but not sure?
