Landscaping in the high desert can be a challenge, but Tyler has worked to find ways to keep his property in Bend looking great, with a focus on water conservation and embracing the natural beauty of the nearby mountains. That includes keeping concrete from cracking during freezes and pests from marching in during the summer.
