Best grass for kids yard in Los Angeles area
Comments (4)the best grass these days is actually a native groundcover... it goes by many names but is most commonly called Kurapia. Great for dogs, soccer, doesn't need to be mowed and only watered once a week (or less in winter). I'm a professional landscape designer in the area and my clients alll LOVE it... even through big parties on it. drawbacks: big upfront price tag because the current market form was hybridized in Japanese labs and is tightly controlled by the venture capitalists who did it and bees love its blossoms when it flowers in spring. Though a quick mow can take care of these I don't recommend it for family's with bee allergies. more info: where to buy kurapia or lux lawn ultra orrr California verbena roll...See MoreWhat is the best sod for active kid backyard in Los Angeles?
Comments (14)We were dead set on artificial. We had 3 companies come out and give us quotes and they all left samples. They all got scorching hot in our sun except the super short putting green style option which would look awful. All 3 vendors admitted it was a known shortcoming of all artificial grass and suggested installing a few in ground sprinklers to water down the turf when we’d have bare feet on it in summer time which would be every day. The last thing I want to do is have to water my artificial turf every time the kids want to play on it, not to mention the increase in temperature the turf would lead to in the back yard by acting like a giant heater in summer. We went back to the idea of real grass and here I am… trying to figure out our best sod option. The front yard was already completely destroyed during pool construction and we’ve decided to convert it to a low water drip system with pebbles, olive trees, and low water plants. We just have the back patch now that we want to keep real grass. What type sod would be the best option for our needs and climate?...See MoreMy West Los Angeles Condo - Suggestions?
Comments (13)Just get one sofa. And you may be able to add one more streamlined chair. Or just keep a folding chair or two on hand for extra company. You don’t want to crowd the space. And plus you are a minimalist. I basically am too, so I personally understand the sensibility. And you definitely don’t want to block your beautiful balcony and views. I just took a closer look at your space and balcony. Your plants are beautiful. My BF also had a bunch of plants in his apartment and on his balcony; and as I just looked at your balcony I have to say your balcony looks so much like his! And it even looks like the same view! This is wild... He lived at 3201 Overland Ave. ( just to give you an idea of the proximity. Don’t say where you actually live! I understand! But I have to tell you this is wild for me, as I just looked closer at your place... It was a really beautiful area and looks like it is still so. I spent a lot of time there, when I lived in Los Angeles. Btw, I found some nice, comfortable folding chairs on Amazon recently - I’ll find them and post the info here for you. As I mentioned, they are nice to have on hand for extra company and easy to tuck away when not needed. ETA: This is the folding chair and it’s available in several colors. So just one folding chair idea for you. :) https://www.amazon.com/Folding-Comfortable-Learning-Backrest-Portable/dp/B08SQN7H9N?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A3NBV3WSPNIM1G...See MoreKitchen Cabinet Installer Los Angeles
