Okay its too hot and too dry these days in the mountains. My grass is dying and ive been watering it daily. $170 water bill and now im thinking its time for some native landscaping of sorts. More concrete pavers and walk ways and get rid of the grass. its dying and its costing me a lot of money. |

More concrete pavers and walk ways and get rid of the grass. its dying and its costing me a lot of money. it'll come back eventually. our yard goes totally dormant and looks dead in the summer when our dry season hits. just give it a solid watering once every few of weeks to keep the roots active if it's an established yard (maybe once a week if it's a relatively new yard, to establish roots). then in the winter, it's super lush and green (though, yours will be covered in snow). if i had to guess, you have real dry and rocky soil that drains really quickly. ours won't hold water for shit unless it's constantly wet. if you wanna get wild, do some aerating in the yard (I got this one a while back, and works well for small areas), throw about an inch of compost on top of it with some slow-release fertilizer. it'll help water get down deep, break up the hard soil a little, and feed the roots for the long months. we replaced a part of it with succulents and other low-water plants, which is nice. |

This sounds like the kind of thing where you could get 3 bids and none of them are even in the same ballpark as the others. |

Did they have to run a line to the deck? Yeah, it's weird, it comes out of the house, along the beams of the deck, then down into the ground to go under that lattice and back up into the grill. I have some future plans to work on the deck, so I guess that'll be fun to figure out. |
