We have a terrible back yard. It’s about 1/2 Acre. We have a new in ground pool with a brown 4ft fence around it The earth around it is all dug up and there is no grass at all. The yard near our house has recently been dug up to lay all new plumbing lines. Needles to say, there is much landscaping to be done.
We have spent so much money on the pool and plumbing that there isn’t much left for landscaping. What can we do?
Plant a naturalized garden with grasses that reseed, lavender (also makes baby plants) and annuals that drop seed that will fill in the places quickly! Dry creek beds are pretty easy if you have dug up a lot of rocks in your plumbing project, and can add instant structure…
