Want your opinion on my landscaping design.

Cool tip on the grass ocr! I wonder how well it would grow in our climate. Would be awesome if it would thrive.

The other thing about buying smaller plants is its fun to watch tyhem grow over the years. It kind stands as a symbol of passing time. Next to my mailbox (fortunately not on my property), the day I moved in 10 years ago I noticed one of those nasty fan palms popped up. It was maybe 3 inches tall and I said to myself, cool I’m gonna watch this thing grow. 10 years later it is about 20 ft high already. Those 5 gallon plants should be 24 inch box plants in 3 to 5 years.

Nice picture. In 3 years, when the 1gal/5gal plants and small trees grow up it can look like that if you space the plants correctly. While the ISO view is nice, it’s hard to gage depth and overall boundaries of the lot. I think you’ll get more feedback if you link a landscaped topview. Second, do you have shade anywhere else in the yard? That little umbrella is insufficient for gatherings and may shade 2 people depending on sun angle. I would probably build a patio cover over a portion of your left patio, leaving the other half open for sunbathing. It doesn’t look too wide, so footings can be poured into the grass and slope. The elevated rock formation patio looks ideal for a portable firepit surrounded by a few chairs. Regarding the BBQ location, I have the same problem in that the pool is far from the house. I decided to build it by the pool. It’s great for parties, but a pain walking back & forth to the house when grilling for family. A multipurpose bench structure by the spa would be ideal. You can sit there to cool off, build storage underneath, add an adjacent refrigerator, and build an open shower behind it.

Be sure to check your roof tiles before & after Solar installation. I found 2 cracked tiles on mine after install and made the contractor replace them. If you’re going to dig up your yard and don’t have a pool autofill, consider putting one in, they’re worth it. I was too cheap to install one and now I have to manually turn the water on every week. One time I forgot to turn it off and flooded my entire backyard. Anyways, congats on getting your pleasure palace in order. You’re going to make the Pigg renter contingent awfully jealous.

sdr, the grass was a product of combined research by UC Riverside and Davis, and suppose to be made for California weather. there will be a dormant period during the winter time, that’s the only downside.

regarding Solar installation for the pool. once you get the pool cover in, then decide if you really need the solar. the pool cover slows evaporation but also help retain heat, so it serves two purposes. there are pool covers that are automatic that can also serve the third purpose of safety so that gates/fencing around the pool would not be needed.

make sure you use drip irrigation for all of the trees and shrubs, that’ll save a lot of watering cost too.

thanks for the tip on the grass. I should have figured it came from California particularly Northern California which is well known for producing something of the finest “grass” in the world.
