Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 13, 2020

Corky, unfortunately that is the kind of thing you might get from a landscape designer. Check their work!

I found that using plants that are popular in the golf courses around me, I have good-looking and water-frugal plants. They have to pay for a lot of water, so they have a great incentive. Oh, and I can avoid things like just rocks and cactus while still being to water for about 15 minutes once a week (maybe twice a week when the temps get up near 100).

I need some mental memory bleach for that yard. Blech!

I couldn’t agree more, Corky. I have landscapers and landscape designers in my family, and that is hideous.

Um Corky, that is the landscape designer.

Cortky ought to put a cork in it.

I guess Corky needs someone who’s got rocks in his head!

Looks like he filled in a swimming pool…

It’s actually a mud garden; the rocks are just their for aesthetics.

Low maintenance.

When I was growing up, waaaay before astroturf®, there was a house along the coast that had a concrete yard. He painted it green once a year.

Coincidentally, Harold finds himself in the mood for some Rocky Road… ☺

Today, I have nothing that has not been said already.. That is.. the kind work a landscape designer would give you.

The guys need help with their pants as well. :)

oh, i kind of like it

On the Jersey Shore, most houses have pebble or sand yards, albeit with patches devoted to salt resistent shrubs. When I was a kid there was one big house that had a lawn (not a great one, mind you). It was a bit of a landmark.
