Love it
No offense to the new guy, he seems nice, but bhg–maybe trying a bit too hard to "appeal to a younger crowd"? *especially a young couple who have to rent–come on–20-50 pots + expensive plants=3-5,000+ alone. The pergola runs 3-5,000. The wood is still high right now. Money like that in the hands of a renter goes to the down payment pot. You did not show a reality budget version. Trendy and nice, but not very realistic.
Doesn’t want to sound rude but I am falling asleep after watching it for 2 mins listening to that flat voice. Charlie is a good guy and knows landscaping well but come on, Hodges is the right bloke for the job! Ah miss the good old days with Hodges and Palmer, soooo passionate so funny and so Aussie
Good job but too much trees behind you. They will grow in few years.
Cheaper version to lower heat would be to buy whatever pole or traditionally wood is cheapest at the hardware store for 8-9' height. Get enough to be spaced about every 6' on each side with a concurrent 5gal bucket. Have 6' closet or shower curtain rods between for added stability (& optionsl place to hang curtains). Buy cement & rocks. Put the poles straight up in the bucket and fill with rocks and cement. Brace it so it cures straight up. Buy eye screws and insert those at the tops of the poles. Place the poles around the area you wish to shade. Buy shade cloth by the linear foot and a grommet kit and carabiners. Depending on the shape of the area needing shade, you may need to grommet and lace the shade cloth together. Use nylon rope. Sisal rope will fall apart very quickly with that much sun. Attach the shade cloth through the grommet holes to the poles using the carabiners. If the poles are tipping over, the cement was not heavy enough, get something heavy (we use sand bags).
Now if you have any extra 5gal buckets, drill a few holes at the bottom and get some potting mix and plant something pretty that climbs like runner beans (two-fer pretty and food). Now these can be wrapped in sisal rope because you have some shade from the uv rays (or paint)! As you have spare change or find something free, make more pots. Make more tall poles and make them up against a wall. Same eye hooks at top. Run a dog's zipline (no longer for dog) between (not more than 6' for safety). Get those over the door soft pocket shoe holders. Fill each pocket with dirt. Add herbs and plants. Water every few days. (definitely good to have a tarp below to protect the cement from stains.
Willing to do alot more work at move out? ***Get tarps and cover the cement, buy either sand or dirt or both & spread evenly to at least 4" depth. Plant a ground cover you like. There are so many options besides grass!! *with enough shade, you can do moss!
***Be mindful of local hazards that will want to move in and use precautions. Snakes do not like moth balls & rats supposedly hate strong peppermint.
Such a smart, stunning transformation and definitely attainable by lots of people – renters or not!
What happened to the chubby one? We need him back!
