Help with Oaktree Texas
What kind of fertilizer or food can I give it? I think the Texas heat I’m trying to water it as much as I can… The branches still feel pliable and green but some of them completely break off
Help with this grass, did I make a mistake or is it no big deal once it grows in?
My builder told me that they did tri-tip Bermuda and then I had a pool installed and needed to put down pallets of sod, unfortunately I don’t think I did tri-tip. I think I did traditional Bermuda and I’m trying to figure out if I’m gonna notice the difference when they come together.
Here are the two different pictures of grass
Travertine tile cleaning
My pool builder isn’t finished yet but I want to make sure he cleans the travertine before handover. Between the mud and dirt during the building process the travertine looks like this. He said he was planning on pressure washing but do you have any other insight on how to ensure the travertine isn’t swirled with brown looking stuff before he leaves ? I tried to hit it with a high pressure hose last night and this is the best I can do. If I pressure wash can I use the highest psi on travertine?
Ground Hornets Nest
Texas area. I have a hornets nest in my front flower bed… My exterminator is telling me to leave it for three months because they are not harmful and they kill the cicadas. But this nest is looking so big and God knows how many of them are in the ground… Someone give me advice
Dead Bermuda
So I sprayed the mulch bed with some of that grass killer because Bermuda has those branches. Is it possible that the grass is dead because I sprayed some of it ribosomes
HElp! Reinstall Sprinklers after pool
I just got a $5k quote for reinstalling sprinklers after pool was done. They capped the backyard and the front yard has been fine this whole 4 months. How the hell is the backyard $5k to uncap and rerun the pieces around the pool?
Scorpion part #2
We have about three of these on the side of the house. Some of them have metal flappers one is pressure controlled and is lifted up a little bit, but I tried to push it down with a broom stick and that didn’t work so I think it’s supposed to be that way. These were put on by the builders. It’s a brand new build. I can’t imagine that we should have to change them and put finer mesh, so I’m not even sure where these tubes go. Can anyone who has expertise weigh in, please.
I want to seal all scorpion options !!!!
Lavender in Austin
New to Austin via Denver where lavender explodes....will I have any luck here?
Site conditions
Does anyone else’s backyard looks as bad as this during the process?… I haven’t been really happy with the Pool company and this is one of the things I wanted to bring up.
I was expecting to lose some sod and backyard, but I wasn’t expecting to have to redo everything
