BLKSHEEP Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yea you also live in desert land don't you lol, the lush pastures of Wisconsin aren't suppose to look that way :) I went to Albuquerque for a class in 2010 and was quite amazed at how good their grass looked, well until I actually walked by a patch and realized it was artificial <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the neighbors who party 'til 3am and need some mechanically launched rocks hurled at their cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 When I went out west and checked the "hardscape" that looked very cool.Don't have to mow rocks. ^-^ Everything has it's faults, there's no such thing as a maintenance free landscape other than just letting crap grow wild! I have the crushed rock and desert plants landscaping in my front yard and that stuff is more work than grass! I have to go out and pull weeds out of that stuff all the time and it's really bad during monsoon season. Yes, there is landscaping cloth under the rock, but just enough dirt blows in around the rock during our spring winds to support the weeds. You can't mow them because of the rocks, so you have to pull them by hand. You can spray them with a chemical of some sort to kill them, but then you have dead brown weeds in your rocks.

planeflyer21 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Larry, don't forget how in a year or two the bigger weeds' roots bust right through the underlayer. Then you have weeds and pieces of plastic/cloth sticking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
