Landscape design

It has been a while since we last talked about renovating our house including the landscape. Now we have started talking about it again because the weather was so intensely hot! I think it is more than 40 degrees but not as hot as in Arizona, where the installer (whom I am working with for another week) comes from. We need more plants around the house. Otherwise the idea of having beautiful outdoor garden is out of questions. Sometimes it is so hot that we have to turn on all fans to get the hot air flow outside, and at the same time increasing the electricity bills. My husband thought it will be great if we can install an aircond for the living room and several exhaust fan in the house. It will help cool the house during daytime, and hopefully we won’t face the same situation next year. The landscape design was my idea of which I need a small greeneries with beautiful bloom at one cornet and the carpeted grass at other places. The kids will love it because the can play outside with their tent and not worrying about tearing the mat. We found several good landcape design concepts and yet to get a good quotes from the local contractors.
