Default Village Developer likes Pine Straw

As you drive down the various streets and roads you will obviously notice Pine Straw everywhere. The Developer overall did a great job of landscaping the green area of TV.

However, the first thing we did with our landscape was take out the Pine Straw and replace it with a combination of rock and bark. Of course, we had to have a couple of Palms to make it look "Florida". I am beginning to see a number of yards replacing about half or more of their yards with various plants with bark and rock. "Attractive" or "creative" is in the eyes of the beholder.
