Hi I have a 12,000 sf yard. and it has nothing on it but just grass. It also has a road on one side so noise mitigation is one of the goals.

Where should I start for ideas? I am DIY if possible due to budget.

Any suggestions.

Area houston tx.

Hey you guys!

I have been wanting to do something to the front of my house on the sides of the stairs. I’ve looked at Pinterest and seen some cute stuff with mulch, plants and bricks or other things. The color of the stairs/porch and foundation of the house will change soon, I’m not sure what color. I just want to give my home a make over and get it looking nice! Any ideas are absolutely welcome! My bf and I don’t have green thumbs but, we are willing to learn and want to have a fun spring project.

Thanks! ❤️

Hi everyone! New to this sub and embarrassed to say I know very little. I have this unfinished side yard, about 500 sq ft, and want to just make it look presentable. Was thinking either mulch or DG. Basically, just stable enough to place tables during parties but otherwise this part of the yard is sight unseen.

How big of a project are we talking here? And any recommendations between mulch vs gravel vs DG?

Thanks in advance!

Hi r/landscaping!

Hoping someone here can help. I had some Date Palms planted early December.

A week ago, we had some really strong winds that look like it damaged a few of the crowns of some of them. Pics attached.

Does anyone know if they will survive? If so, how to care for them so that they grow straight rather than at the new angle the crown is pointing at. Any other tips?

Thank you!

Hi! Looking to build a social media account (most likely instagram) Anyone know of any good ones with great followings so I can get some inspiration?

So I live in a water-plane area in the UK, when it rains my garden floods and can quite heavily even 12-14” deep in some parts. In a house association property who declined fitting a soakaway or similar as garden maintenance is my responsibility bar fences between properties. On a tight budget but the flooding is getting crazy these days and takes up to a week to drain away and make the garden semi-usable bar the sludgy mud. Pretty sure it’s majority clay based so very squishy. Any help appreciated on best ways to get it more manageable and usable? The garden slopes down so the far end is higher than the end nearest property and is very uneven with dips and highs all over due to last tenant dumping construction/home waste including whole bags of construction sand and broken tiles

We're getting ready to do some landscaping improvements to part of our yard this spring. I would love some advice on how to reduce the amount of snow/ice buildup on the path that runs along the shady side of our house.

It's currently got a bit of a slope to it, but I want to add a retaining wall to hold in the soil and level it out.

Any groundcover materials that would help? We have breeze or gravel in mind, but would that help with drainage, or just make it harder to shovel?

Thanks!

Going to re gravel my driveway soon it’s washed out over a span of 3 years. Tips for dealing with giant mud holes first. Then best way to keep from washing out and staying together.

Hi all,

We are having issues with wild boar digging up our yard in Four Corners, FLA. Interesting thing is, we are the only yard being targeted. Our neighbor said that it has to do with the fertilizer our landscaper is using. No other homeowner uses a service for their lawn. I am looking for recommendations on how to proceed.

Thanks

what are some possible solutions i can get to prevent these puddles from forming in the divets in my patio? It is just this area shown in the picture.

Good afternoon, friends! We have this bed in front of our house that was overrun with mint and weeds when we moved in. We repeatedly cleared them out but they keep growing back! After the latest clearing, we also planted bulbs of peonies and tulips for my wife, but now that they’re growing back, we’re wondering if there’s a way to fully get rid of the mint and weeds without harming the bulbs? Willing to use literally anything to make it happen at this point.

In zone 10b, I have a patch of artifical turf I'd like to pull up and replace with white clover. Under the turf is crushed gravel, and under that is desert sand. I dont want to remove the gravel. I was thinking of laying ~3 inches of compost before seeding. Any recommendations?

Zone 5B.

Have a slope on a portion of my yard. Basically starts into a forest. We had tick problems so I cleaned the hill up real nice as it was mostly vines and weedy trees.

Transplanted many hostas there & they did alright, marigolds not so much(both are supposed to repel ticks).

It stays pretty dry without watering until we get big enough rain, in which case the yard at the bottom of the slope gets sopping wet.

I do plan on adding French drains on the slope, but what plants could I add in low sun/ dry soil conditions to absorb water?

I want to spray our pea gravel with glue, its in our dog run. Which glue is the best?
