Beautiful landscapes have always impressed me. I can’t help but fall in love with my neighbor’s landscape which she regularly changes every quarter. Admittedly, she says it’s her guilty pleasure and instant stress-reliever.

One thing, though, that remained constant is her dry creek bed. I’ve figured out that, not only is it visually appealing, but it also controls the flow of water. This is really beneficial in areas that are usually hit by heavy rains and floods. Although this isn’t a requirement, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
