Hello, I am helping design some landscaping for the entrance of our neighborhood. I would like to plant as many low maintenance native plants as possible, but don't want it to look unkept or have the plants go crazy and take over. I am planting along the street, about 600 feet long and in full sun. Our budget is $1500. Can you recommend some plants and landscaping ideas please?

Here are several links that should you get started. The Houston Chapter of the Native Plant Society is a great resource which also lists nurseries where plants can be purchased.
