Teebee great selection you have there, I can't wait to see the finished planted project. Please send a pic in May when it's all in.
The blue Agave Amerc. you have is one of my faves...

Great looking specimens.
A couple of yucca rostrata and you're done 😉

Perfect!
Their blue will go nicely with your desert collection.
Picked out the color of your landscape gravel? 😉

I actually have. I got some stone work done last year the main colour is gray with a strip of black I'm thinking about trying to replicate that in gravel. But if I chicken out I'll go straight gray matches the house etc.
Here is a shot of the path down the side of the house. Each stair was 480lbs and one guy set them all in place by hand. All I can say is I'm not built for physical labour.

Good sheltered dry area for succulents.
The strip is a nice feature.

Nice plants! You can get a good idea of winter protection from the tent/polytunnel that Jim in Iowa keeps over his cacti during the winter.

Most of the cacti will need to come inside most of them aren't at all hardy (Z9/10) stuff. Looking for Eastern Prickly pear and more hardy stuff then I will certainly use some tricks learned here to keep them alive in the ground.
