It faces south & gets a lot of afternoon sun. I have an apple tree about 10 feet from it & might start providing some shade in the afternoon in a few years.

It really is a blank canvas & I know you guys generally have some great ideas.

That's a blank palate for a cool space.

I hadn't thought of a cactus garden. I thought about a fountain but I'd have to hire someone to run the waterline out to it. The lighting has bumfuzzled me. Could I do solar lighting?

I think it lacks the sun for garden veggies or roses though.


I thought about two tiers with different types a vegetation in each.

I'd do some LED lighting. Something that changes color. There's a lot of LED lighting out there that will do that. Program it, control it from a remote.

I love lighting. You can even put lighting in the fountain water. Another thought is a fire pits. Gas with rocks. Cool look. And you can program them to music.

Install a hot tub, drop a bit of dry ice in the fountain, and you've got yourself a grotto.

You could go with some native flowers to mid-mo that do well with facing south. I would suggest cone flowers nearer the fence and spider wort near the front.

Made the little kid's day who lives across the street. The sons (and the older son's friend who is town for the older son's 21st birthday) moved the swing set they grew up using to its next home. Before and after shots. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...da50d8a9d4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...16057d93b3.jpg

:eek: That's my average annual precip!

Glad it is working out.

Working on it again today if weather cooperates.

I'll post a photo after I work on it.

How did you do the patio space to look like pavers...painted on?



The stones under the stairs looks great. I might consider doing something like that down here. Great work.

Thanks!

Brick mold & used concrete stain. It turned out better than I expected.

The stones were a bigger project but it turned out pretty cool.
