Create a Water-Smart Yard

A water-conserving landscape is low maintenance, requires less water, less fertilizer, less routine pruning and fewer pesticides. A well-designed landscape should get better with age, requiring less maintenance, irrigation and mulch. Check out the January issue of Atlanta Home Improvement (online) for "Water-Smart Landscaping."

Check out this inviting outdoor living space!

It includes a custom deck around a resistance pool and an arbor with a fireplace that anchors one end of the yard. Pavers and stone laid in sod tie the two areas together.

    Oh yeah! It looks like a bomb went off before we start laying pavers. Here are the steps. ...»

    1. Design a plan, obviously. Make sure to note grade changes allow for at 1.5% slope for drainage.

    2. Remove existing debris such as grass, old walkways, stumps, etc.

    3. Rough grade to get entire area fairly level

    4. Install compacted gravel base for pavers-4 to 6" and sand base for stone-1 to 2". I don't like to set my stones on concrete pad because if you ever want to move them the concrete makes it difficult.

    5. Lay pavers, set stones.

    6. Back fill around pavers and stones with top soil. Rake level but keep top of soil 1" below pavers/stones.

    7. Lay sod and roll.

    Now you can move right over the stones.

Landscape Curb Appeal

For curb appeal remember these three words: conceal, reveal and simplify.

1.Conceal unpleasant views such as the AC units on the neighbor's house with green plants. Don't use pampas grass or roses to hide something ugly--it's counterproductive, drawing attention to the thing you're trying to hide.

2. Reveal the best features of the home by choosing plants that mature below window heights or trees ...»
