The rain is pounding! You just know the new mulch they put down after the new plantings is probably all over your front walk.
Late for your appointment, you rush outside, the rain drumming on your umbrella.
You can’t believe it! The walk is clear! You can even wear your new shoes to get to your car and not have wet feet all day.
You think "nice to have something work the way they said it would."
Tackling the Necessities
Deer Netting
Deer eat flowers. What more can I say? There are no guarantees. This netting style though has kept these impatiens alive for 2 months...teasing deer palates throughout the land!
Hiding AC Units
Wooden fences are often used to hide AC units. This block wall, faced in stucco and topped with ivy is a great alternative when a stone look is needed, but not affordable.
Garbage Can Screening
Garbage can screening is also important in keeping up the garden mystique. Here are 2 examples of wooden fencing that can be used, one of them stained.
Landscape Retaining Wall
The 3rd picture directs huge amounts of rain from a slanted driveway to exactly this spot- bumping off a small stone retaining wall.
Sealing Stone
We love our stone terraces but one glass of red wine can really have a negative impact. Sealing stone is a great option to keep stress low when you have the neighbors come for a cook-out.
