Scratched Driveway from Landscaping job.
Comments (2)That's what our builder did for us-- it requires maintenance every 3 to 10 years depending on the brand and material used. You will have to pressure wash and the apply the product or pay someone to do that for you which in my area the first time is the most expensive then after that it is $500-700 for next application for an 800sq ft drive. Good luck!...See MoreHelp with decorating my long, dark and oddly shaped entry hall
Comments (17)The hallway is bright and welcoming. Forget a mat as you have dogs as well as elderly family. Unless the chair is serving a purpose, I would remove it and add a full-length wall hung mirror which will reflect light and make the hall look an indeterminate length and you can used it to see your reflection before you leave the house....See MoreHow should I make my driveway entrance more appealing?!
Comments (23)Hello Anna , Camellias are a beautiful tree and they come from the cooler regions of Asia and are more suited to a humid / cooler conditions. I have them on the southern side of my home here in Sydney where they have protection from the hot sun . Flowers will burn as will some leaves from hot winds and dry conditions are not really to their liking . I’m not saying they won’t grow, they will but will struggle and need to keep roots moist . They become quite broad and will eventually brush against cars etc as your driveway is narrow . Crepe myrtles are from India originally and the warmer Asian countries. They do lose leaves and with this comes a change of view as the leaves turn a bright orange/yellow and give you completely different look . After this the tree will be bare for a few months exposing the stunning bark ( more mature trees ) that you just cannot walk past without touching . Then in spring the new growth is like green ! They don’t really NEED to be pruned but you will get lots more flowers . As you are using this in a driveway i would just let the grow naturally and as a narrow, tall ish tree =. Great for drive way . Let me take a picture of mine here in Sydney . I will send it next . Also , as you are driving around your area keep an eye out for trees that catch your eye , ask your local nursery man , if you have one . Crepes love hot dry areas and will not need watering at all after established . That’s why some councils in nsw use them as nature strip trees = low care !! Most important of all ...... enjoy yourself !! Gardening very rewarding...See MorePlant advise for a driveway..totally stumped!!!!!
Comments (18)thank you bigreader. I will look into the fettucine one. I love the limelights but we always have problem with the bug that has the little white sacs. We have lost so many. We spray with white oil but they always win :( I agree, they would look lovely there....See MoreGenus Landscape Architects
