The Yards That Have Inspired Us

 
Shared by Coastal Gardener
When I think of all the wonderful people who fostered my interest in gardening, who took the time to teach me about plants, and who critiqued my efforts in a loving way, I wish they could see my gardens now and realize how much they contributed (see gardens listed under my user name 'Coastal Gardener' here on YardShare). It's time to pass the torch --- and there's no better time than when they're young!

We turned a wooded lot in a wonderful pool area. We built a poolhouse and outdoor cook area. We still have a lot of trees to enjoy and feel like we're on vacation in our own backyard.

My backyard in Memphis used to be a shaded oasis with a 100 year old oak tree that was 75 ft. tall. A few years ago, straight line winds (referred to locally as Hurricane Elvis)knocked down my beautiful tree and thousands more turning my shaded oasis into a hot spot. What to do? Add a pool and tropical landscaping.

I built this bar and bbq myself in the summer of 2006. The foundation is concrete block, with El Dorado stone for the facing. 4-burner stainless steel grill and a mini refrigerator. Countertops are ceramic tile on cement backerboard. The bar area is 4 inches higher than the grill area in order to have a distinct bar/serving area. The bbq/bar area took 3 months to plan and 1 month to build. It's been a great addition to our backyard.

Our back yard is split into two halves...the patio half and the grass/flower bed half. I did the patio half 3 years ago, but the other half has not got the attention it deserves until now. So this past week, we hired ArborTeck Tree Care & Landscaping of Hayward, CA. They removed a tree to open the yard up a bit, not to mention clean up all of the roots that had come to the surface. This allowed us to replace the sod and create a new raised planter on the side. They dressed up all of the flower beds with weed mat and mulch, plus replaced all our sprinklers and put in a drip system

I have been gardening for about 3 years. I love the results of all the flowers and plants. My mom gave me most of my plants, she has a beautiful garden. I love old things, most of the my things belonged to my dad and mom. Thanks for dropping by my place, come back and visit anytime.......smiles
