Taming the Turf

Before this backyard was renovated, the grass was out of control! It was fence-to-fence and took a lot of time and money to hand water. Three quarters of the grass was removed and a large patio and planting beds took it's place. The patio is gravel and recycled concrete from a pathway that was in the yard to keep the outdoor living area renovation affordable. The planting beds are large enough to accommodate trees, shrubs, perennials and raised vegetable beds which are watered by drip irrigation. The new, smaller lawn area was updated with an efficient irrigation system using rebated heads and nozzles.
