Why I don't work for Home Builders-what 99% of people don't know

What happens here

A comprehensive tour of the entire property reinforces the scale of the project. The presenter points out the areas requiring substantial fill dirt and the construction of multiple rock walls to create a series of functional and visually appealing tiers on the steep landscape. Emphasis is placed on strategic tree and bush planting for privacy, shade, and aesthetic breaks, as well as identifying a future location for a shed. The goal is to establish a natural transition between the manicured lawn and the existing wooded areas.

Goal: Develop a comprehensive landscaping plan for the entire property, including specific features and problem areas.

Tools and materials

  • Bushes — Planting for ground cover, aesthetics, and defining spaces
  • Trees — Planting for aesthetics, shade, and privacy
  • Fill Dirt — To create desired grades and levels across the property
  • Rocks — Constructing retaining walls and decorative features

What they say

was telling JJ off-camera that I want to tell these guys so we're all caught up on the same speed but they were looking for solutions and a couple options that were already presented to them was a retaining wall back here and what I warned everybody is anytime you put a retaining wall in you've now divided your yard into two spaces usable space and space that you think is usable but you will never go out and actually use and so what would happen is if we built a retaining wall we'd have to put a six footer in right about here we would be able to flatten out this yard but the entire rest of their property down here they go it goes back their way they won't visit in their mind they're gonna go there but in reality after the first couple times you're not gonna look out the window and see people lounging in the bushes back there they just they don't do it JJ's realistically it's an unrealistic concept and so a couple of the things that we've got to get beyond that is always a challenge is I know people buy these Lots because of trees they fall in love with that big stick right there and and that big stick stops them from creating a yard that they will actually spend time in and use and if we can get beyond the concept of this big stick being in the way and take that tree down we can now bring in enough soil that we can flatten out that yard all the way to the back property line and then create this unusable space to the back of the property and then you will now have a giant yard that you can play in toss balls in and then you also have the option to go out and grab a tree and your family can plant it together and you can name it Helen or whatever you want to do and have memories about putting in your own trees and now you've gotten the best of both worlds but you sacrifice on and this one wouldn't be wasted this would get burned in my fireplace so but you see what they did
