Before and After of my 'warzone' backyard
Comments (22)Thanks again for the wonderful compliments. We love it, love it. Sorry about your trees, Daisy - I would contact a person who knows - maybe they can be saved. We had a lot cut out of our yard this year. It broke my heart to see so much of nature go, but it needed to be done as our entire yard was becoming deep shade. It is still shady, but we are definitely getting more light in! Les, I will think about that trellis idea. That would cover the wires, maybe with clematis or something growing up, then there is the hose in the corner. Maybe I just need to get a fancy hanger for it. From the wires over to the right needs a remake. Thanks for the idea....See MoreReally need help transforming this wall leading to the back yard
Comments (5)Thanks! I am starting to think the same thing. Put in a double French door with sidelights centered on the wall and get rid of those windows over the radiators. Wide folding doors were my original vision but cost and radiators made me revise that....See MoreAdvice on purchasing doors to garage and between garage/ backyard
Comments (2)The price is a matter only if the more expensive door has additional features as moisture-resistance, soundproofing and etc. But generally, all these things depend on the manufacturer not price. Yes, of course, there is a big gap between insulation types. You can visit this website and find more detailed information about the advantages of steel front doors here and read about the differences between cheap and expensive front doors here. I hope these articles will answer all your questions and help you determine what kind of door you need....See MoreBlank Canvas Backyard (Dog Friendly/Garden/Privacy)
Comments (12)Consider creating terraces. Decide how much room immediately behind your home you eventually want for a backyard patio. Leave at least six feet beside each fence not dug but dig a ditch/footing for a wall of concrete block down to hard ground across the center of the rest of the back yard. Once your terrace wall is built, level the area above the wall, including by adding a truck load of gravel and/or dirt and/or shoveling dirt from below the wall to above it to level both your patio area and a space below the wall. Once you've reserved your patio space -- while your dogs pack it from using it -- you can begin to plant your garden, preferably in a way the dogs can be taught to leave what you plant alone. Pay attention to how the sun passes over your back yard so you're not planting anything that will eventually shade your garden too much for it to grow. Brackets on fence posts can hold potted plants -- choose the strong ones. https://www.google.com/search?q=very+strong+bracket+for++holding+flower+basket&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjy1KW5l4LoAhWiSt8KHRZkBw0Q_AUoAnoECAwQBA&biw=1366&bih=628 Consider the stronger tomato cages for tomatoes and beans. You can buy individual trellis/cages in the spring from the big box stores or build your own -- there are You Tube videos on how to build different kinds. This is just one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozQNsd5Oek4 Consider building a mini greenhouse using plumbing pipes and/or wood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsSI4w3CqEo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQWPnaiixe0 https://www.bing.com/search?q=building+greenhouse+with+pvc&form=EDGSPH&mkt=en-us&httpsmsn=1&msnews=1&plvar=0&refig=d03dc932a900445e84174ddd49ea6bb8&sp=1&ghc=1&qs=AS&pq=building+greenhouse+with+&sk=PRES1&sc=8-25&cvid=d03dc932a900445e84174ddd49ea6bb8&cc=US&setlang=en-US If you build raised beds with wood, remember to line the wood box with plastic to make the wood last longer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef_TS19TRQg and / or building tiered structures for plants https://www.google.com/search?q=wood+tiered+structures+for+planting+strawberries&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiv8fyvk4LoAhXEEFMKHS1JBKMQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=wood+tiered+structures+for+planting+strawberries&gs_l=img.3...95448.101579..102697...0.0..0.134.1724.15j4......0....1..gws-wiz-img.NbM-ukJ-fRs&ei=qFFgXq_9FcShzAKtkpGYCg&bih=654&biw=1366&client=firefox-b-1-d#imgrc=irj20Wqm9lLhnM...See MoreSusan W
