The more my surroundings look as if they grew up and are a part of "here", the more comfortable it is for me. Most houses look as if they were put where they sit and are surrounded by plants and other enhancements that are not part of this environment and it makes them look out of place.
Also, I picked up every single rock and moved it to its place in a border or small wall, so each is a piece of the story of my existence.
very true sir willymac, very true.. yes that's a wonderful way to landscape and make your house look like it's more natural to it's location.
