>I have two questions - 1) My mother's front yard is mostly dead grass and 
>weeds!  What is the best way of getting rid of the bermuda grass and weeds 
>to put in a desert landscape.  I would like to replace with stone and than 
>plant some desert shrubs and a tree or two.  2) At my home I have 20+ year 
>old Juniper bushes that I annually trim slightly.  They are at least 5 feet 
>tall and I would like to cut them back to 3 feet or slightly less.  Is this 
>advisable and if so, when would be the best time.  If they are cut back, 
>will they fill back in again?

>Thank you for your time in answering my questions.
