Good luck! Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hmm. All paved will get very hot and radiate heat, increasing your A/C usage. Leave some trees, or plant some to catch some shade in summer. A lawn is actually cooling, and reduces temperature around your house. Water for the lawn is cheaper than electricity for A/C.

Maybe lawn and garden, with sweeping paths through out. That could look great.

So..
This site http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=419 helped me a lot. I was able to grow a grape vine in my backyard with 0 experience.
Hope it helps.
