Want your opinion on my landscaping design.

Don’t bother with permits for an outdoor bathroom.

Here is inexpensive design for an outdoor shower/toilet combo for parties.It is easy to get up and down and since most parties are on weekends, code enforcement won’t be working. If anyone wants the design, pm me.

Stand a piece of plywood on end perpendicular to the earth, long edges up. Support it with t-posts and tie wraps… or wire. Hang a hose with a trigger type nozzle over the top and let the nozzle rest against the plywood at about 72″ from grade. Dig hole on the other side of the plywood. Save the material from the excavation. The hole should be at a depth reasonable to accommodate the size and duration of party you anticipate (usually this would be the more private elevation of project). Leave a bottle liquid soap and a roll of hygienic paper in the vicinity.

For a more “high end” version locate a soap dish, towel bar and toilet paper holder on the plywood according to a layout that suits you.

There is a version that includes a solar heated shower too.

Some people prefer the blue tarp model.

Its not on my property so it doesnt bother me. if it was on my property I would have torn it out as those fan palms are a nuisance.

It usually takes a couple years for the palms to adapt to their locations and tehn they explode with growth. If you palm isnt growing as well as it should, it probably needs more water and most importantly fertilizer. Palm spikes twice a year and plenty of H20 can work wonders.

Not humid enough for coconut palsm, they need tropical weather not mediteranean climates.

The grass is awesome but you will need to plant the plugs…I want instant gratification, do they have the sod option?

It looks really beautiful, but as a Pigg, I really have to warn you about the on-going water cost to this design in terms of your water bill.

Definitely make sure you use as little grass as possible, make sure all the plants are natives so they are climate-appropriate in terms of water use, and make sure your surfaces are previous, so when it does rain, water gets soaked into the ground, and doesn’t run into your pool.

If you’re set on your designer, that’s cool, but make sure he uses natives. If you google “nifty-fifty plants” you can get a list of beautiful native flowering trees, shrubs etc.

And, think of the money you’ll save on your water bill. Water rates are only going up in the coming years. It is estimated that 1/2 of water bills are due to landscapes, so I really encourage you to figure out if you can cut back.
