Phew - Took nearly 12 months but it's all come together.
We sourced some local mulch and rocks from 'Supersoil' including:
20 mm Riviera pebbles and 14-20 mm Tuscany pebbles.
All the step pavers below were laid on a bed of mortar on crushed rock and then surrounded with the Riviera pebbles.
...and from the other angle.
We also decided to tidy up the blind side of the house and also make it very low maintenance using the Tuscany pebbles.
The water tank area received some attention and was sprinkled with some stone too.
The front garden beds also got the treatment.
Note, the Deck in the following photos has been hit with hose to get this nice effect (tank water of course ;-) - an oiling is planned in the next couple of weeks to give it a permanent colour.
The rear yard is a work in progress and some parts are on hold, although we have recently had an awesome deck built - so once that is all completed we will post some more pics.
Enjoy the summer.

Hi there, Came across your blog hitting the 'next blog' button on the top of blogger! Love your low maintenance front yard and it has given me great ideas for what we will do in the future with the front of our newly contructed home.
Thanks and keep blogging ;->

Wow!!! Congratulations! Your front yard looks fantastic. I love everything you have done. Is that a Japanese Maple? I'd love to have one of them but not sure where to put it.
Pebbles/pavers look great! You must be so pleased to have it complete and looking fantastic.
Hope you all have a very happy Christmas and a wonderful 2010.
