It looks like we will be buying a house in the area that sits on an acre. It has a beautiful backyard, but way too much grass. In an effort to conserve water, I would like to take the back corner and turn it into a more native area with grasses, small pond and lots of native plants. I would love it to become a haven for birds and butterflies. I would like to find someone who can give me some direction so that I do this right. I am sure I will need help with the hardscaping, but I really want to be hands on. Any suggestions on where I should start?
