Need help designing my now dirt covered slope
Comments (36)I have to return my Sunset book to the library today, but I get to keep the others until the 21st. I went through it real quick and scanned pics of the flowers I liked the looks of so that I could remember what they are later. I will look up all the ones that were reccomended here later and see if I like the looks of them. But after looking through the Sunset book here are some of what I like: Penstemon Cransebill Daylily Lily-of-the-Nile Sage Santa Barbara Daisy Gazania Ice Plants Rosemary Trailing African Daisy Verbena Blue Star Creeper Any opinions of the plants that I like? I'm having a coworker of a friend come out this week to give me a bid of leveling out the right side of the hill and putting a retaining wall in so that one day I could put a hot tub up there. I may also find out how much it would cost to terrace the other side as well. I doubt I can afford to do both, and frankly the hot tub will have priority. :-) After my visit to the nursery I've been thinking about plant placement and whatnot. The man told me I should make everything symmetrical. That makes sense, but if I put the space for the hot tub on the right, then my lemon tree is no longer in the middle, and the big tree on the left hand side gives shade so the plants under there would have different needs than the plants on the other side. Also, what should I plant under the tree? The leaves fall and will need to get picked up, so it needs to be able to either withstand the leaves on top of it or with stand raking or me trampling on it with my blower/vacuum. Any ideas??? As for my wall and the drainage. I noticed in the middle of the wall at the level of my patio there is a small cut out about the size of a thumb or so. Could this be for drainage? There is another one over at the BBQ. Thanks again for all the help....See MoreNeed Color Design Help For Garage and House, Cpartist, PPF, ARG, etc
Comments (32)I would prefer to paint it all one color. But, the trim on the overhang and the columns are bright white vinyl. They won't take paint. I'm stuck with those items being white. The trim areas around the garage doors can be painted the same color. My goal is to make it recede, not be the first thing that you see as you look at the property as a whole and be complimentary to the larger house structure....See MoreNeed help designing top of garage to tie in front
Comments (28)This is the other reno in progress, outside is finished with new siding and back huge privacy deck. Working on inside finishes now. We actually have 3 total in progress and I do second guess myself some days, so I thought I'd turn here for comments. I usually don't ask. This one is a far cry from what the old owner tried doing to it. We have just poured the footer on the house next to it, so that will be a while....See MoreNeed help with window placement design on garage!
Comments (14)Large windows at the back of upper garage means probably no work table or wall storage. Any chance of throwing a wrench in frustration? Does the vehicle prefer a view or is there some alternative function occurring upstairs? At times you may be able to see into such large windows, and if that is viewable from your house, or street, and the garage is not finished or is storage or whatever, then you might want window coverings. Window coverings are not optimal in buggy, webby, dusty, garages. Do the transoms mimic anything on the house, or is placing 3 symmetrically and mulled together on the side acceptable? Is there any way to enter the lower level other than the overhead door (doesn't look like room for an interior stair)? Can the window become a door?...See More3onthetree
