I wouldn't spend much $ improving the place with a carport, if you don't own the property.

Sounds like a sweet crib to me.
Thank you for the reply!

Sorry I wasn't clear. I am not putting any money into this place, except what I can take with me. This is thinking of a solution or solutions to present to the "owner" to address the issue of me being able to maintain the place. The plants I have put in were free, B.T.W.. The Globe Mallows came up from seeds on their own.

Since when is there snakes in suburbia? I have been in Arizona since August 2010 and not seen a single snake.

I don't want a no growth look, but the "owner" does want it neat and weed free. I would love it if I could have a lush desert landscape. My friends front yard used to be that way, so pretty, and don't recall any snake issue. Does have bees living in his homes wall though, but that is something else.

Carport was in reference to if I had to go to another place. I am hesitant about moving unless I have a safe place for my tools. Yes, I might be acting like a spoiled brat, but I would be giving up other benefits.

Not really, as I don't like the uncertainty and that someone else is taking care of me. But, due to my conditions, I can't live in an apartment and/or have room mates. Can't even get hired and when I did, couldn't keep employed. Finally realized my situation and have applied for Disabilities.

Engatwork, thank you for the reply!

Hmmm, now there is an idea for the non-gravel areas! Looks like though it would have to be ordered.
