how do you build a backyard waterfall?
Comments (5)Despite all abundance offers of backyard waterfall projects with several of their filling (stones, plant, fishes, etc), first it is necessary to define for itself, what kind of waterfall would you like to build also what delivers maximum of pleasure and minimum of problems.

Comments (3)What about a concolor fir??? Here's the link from Uconn....I love 'em! Also, Arborvitae Green giant is quite lovely, fast growing and a beautiful green.

Comments (3)I'm not asking what to do, I'm asking how much of a pain in the ass it's going to be. It's should be obvious that I already know that I need to get a permit and find out if I'm zoned correctly, as previously stated...I want to know what I'm getting myself into....See MoreNew build backyard privacy help
Comments (10)Actually arborvitae are a great source for privacy and grow much taller than the average fence height....and it's cheaper. You just have to have some patience to let them grow and fill in the space. While your fence has weathered it doesn't appear to be in bad condition. Cleaning it will take some elbow grease but it's worth doing. Much cheaper than replacing even if you hire someone to clean it for you. You don't have to line your entire lot line with these, just in areas where you need more privacy to protect neighbors fron viewing you. A variety of trees and shrubs keeps things interesting. You have that Texas sun beating down on your home, so be sure to think through the height of the trees and what will offer you sun protection at different times of the day so you can enjoy your nice big yard even in the summer months....See MoreYardvaark
