Outdoor Patio HELP PLEASE - TILE dilemma

Comments (23)Anything that is steel, even powder coated, will eventually rust if left outside. Fine if you don't mind refinishing frequently. That's what we have to do with our fire pit that is steel. We spray it every couple of years with a special fire resistant metal spray paint. We had to do the same with the frames for our steel patio furniture. They also make cast aluminum lawn stuff so you might find something like that. I still use wrought iron and steel stuff, just not tons. Some finishes last longer than others. There are some lists of deer resistant plants for NJ and neighboring PA out there. Here's one from my alma mater Rutgers, https://njaes.rutgers.edu/deer-resistant-plants/ Edited to add that Doug's idea of creating a visual screen against the driveway is a pretty good one, particularly if you don't need the view.

Comments (20)Thank you both for the recommendations and your empathy for my plight ! I have two crepe myrtles on the back corners of my property but they don’t flower much. My landscaper assured me that we would have robust blooms but much to our disappointment they just don’t flower that much. I think we got either very immature trees or some type of species of crêpe myrtle that I don’t understand. We had hydrangeas in our garden when I lived in New York and I remember them so fondly for most of my childhood flowering, in our front yard. I think I just might take you up on those recommendations and see how they do potted! I thought it would be too hot for them here—but I never checked the zoning. It would make my day to have those purple hydrangeas again! Much thanks....See MoreRL Relocation LLC
