Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
My husband redid our front yard with modern fencing, retaining wall, pavers and artificial turf. It was a lot of work and is also his first big DIY project, but we are happy and proud with the results.
PS: We think artificial turf is a life saver in drought-ridden California, please don't hate us for it :)
I like it. Great job!
If anyone wants to try something like this, make sure you know where your property line is. A lot of people assume their property begins behind the curb or sidewalk, and that’s not always the case. I say this as someone who sometimes has to remove fences or landscaping to add sidewalk. In some places, location of utility poles is mostly at the back of right of way. That may give you an idea of where your property line is, but that’s only an approximation.
I was impressed with recording yourself but the was amazing!!!
Wow! Really impressive work and great attention to detail. I always start out with the intention of doing everything by the book, but always end up cutting a corner or too. Watching this makes me want to up my game!
The work is nice, but that video steals the show. Really nice work overall!
This project obviously had a lot of heart & thought put into it... but I can’t help but feel, as an ecologist/marine biologist seeing the rise in popularity of turf in America, a bit devastated.. the American lawn is, by area, the largest monoculture crop on earth, and it’s an utter waste of space. To now see people replacing it with literally ecologically dead material that leaches microplastics into the surrounding area, suffocates soil microorganisms, overheats, and will simply go to the landfill when it is worn out.. :(
That's like 5k in lumber nowadays
Looks awesome.
That’s not considered encroachment in your city? It’s right up to the city sidewalk it looks like
wow - what made you decide on turf vs doing something like removing lawn, adding gravel/mulch, and drought-resistant plants?
