Wetland signs on property
Comments (13)If the local zoning authorities want to make a stink, they can make your life miserable. I'd just put the signs up. Small maters are usually not worth the cost and ill will of litigating. Actually, I can see why they want the signs there. You know where the borders of the wetlands are NOW. Will you remember 20 years from now when you are thinking of putting in a shed/garage/pool? If you sell the house, will the next owners know?...See Moreanyone keeping wild/grass free areas on their new property?
Comments (18)[Transitional Landscape[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/transitional-landscaping-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_728~s_2112) by New York Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers Todd Haiman Landscape Design This is very similar to what we had at our last house. We had ten acres with about half of it being treed with a big creek. We made a walking/ATV trail through the property which was way too rocky to really do anything else with. There were about two acres just around the house that needed mowing when we moved in which DH did by hand until one of our super generous neighbors gave him their old rider when they bought a new one. We decided it was still too much to mow so we put in a huge garden and pond to catch the springs going through that part of the property. We decided to fill in the other areas with native prairie grass and wildflowers we bought from Stock Seed Farms which has an online store and is located in Nebraska. They specicialize in native plants for the Midwest so make sure you know what is native to your area. We would burn it in early every Spring to keep the area looking nice and only mowed trails through it. If you don't burn it the area will become very thick and that I'm guessing is why they told you about the weeding. It was always nice to look at. If you do go with some wildflowers make sure to get a mix of annuals and perennials so some come up the first year. Some of the perennials may take a few years to bloom....See MoreHouse with Wetlands / Buffer Area - need advice
Comments (36)Hi, We are considering buying a house around Seattle which is 6700 Sq Ft. of usable space backed by wetlands. It hardly is wetlands like..it seems more like a swamp/marshland and is a very small body of water/slush. Do you guys think mosquitoes and frogs can be a problem in Seattle? Also...we are hoping to build a "hanging deck" out starting from our plot to barely above the "wetlands" (our house would be higher). Would that be a problem even if we wouldn't go until the "no-go" zone? Also ...does a house being near a wetland automatically mean it is more prone to mold and uneven foundation? It is a new house - built in 2004. Please help...this is rather urgent. Thank you!...See MoreHot end of June Day in New Jersey
