Seriously if allowed I'm sure that we would have some beautiful, creative yards like they have in Arizona.

I agree that Arizona has some creative and beautiful yards. But ... it’s Arizona ...it’s a dry, hot desert. They landscape that way because they have to, not because they want to. Do you want The Villages to look like a desert town? I have stone in some of my flower beds and they are hot, hot, hot. I would replace the stone with mulch if I could, but my dogs would eat the mulch.

I could fill in my entire CYV yard with stone, but I never will. I love the feel and smell and green of grass. If you fill in your entire lawn with stone, where would Duffy walk?
