Dog hates the landscapers?

My husband and I bought a townhouse last year and then “adopted” our whippet mix from the humane society a week later. Our HOA takes care of mowing everyone’s yards. They just started mowing again (after not mowing since November– lots of snow). My dog is acting really scared of our yard now. It’s odd because she goes to the park all the time and never has an issue with other peoples’ smells there.
She’s already gone through obedience training. This wasn’t an issue last year. And she has no issues with people coming into our home. She just refuses to pee in the yard after the landscapers mow.

Seek a local trainer and ask for help with threshold training.

Best Solution to remove grass underneath Airconditioner Unit & put something decorative which would stop weeds?

The air conditioner unit is hooked to the exterior wall of my house. Underneath the unit, I have sodded grass, as it is part of the lawn/garden. There is no way to mow the grass under the unit, as there is only few inches space between the bottom of the unit & the grass. Sometimes I do it with the trimmer but it does do a good job as the trimmer can not reach under the unit. I was thinking of removing the grass under the air conditioner unit & put something decorative which gives nice landscaping look and weeds, grass does not grow there anymore. Please advise the best possible solutions

We have a small fern garden under our Air-con outlet hose, they love the constant moisture and because we chose dwarf or small types of ferns they don’t get too big. We edged it with pieces of local sandstone rock but any sort of border or edging would make it look ‘cleaner’ and easier to maintain.

Landscaping/Garden Ideas?

Hi! I have a small plot in my backyard that is the shape of a half circle. Its about 8×4 9×4 ish. So its not a tiny vegatable garden but its not huge. The straight side of the half circle is also one of the sides that create our sqaure concrete patio. So it comes right off of the concrete almost creating this shape— [ ]D. I thought a path right through the center surrounded by flowers maybe with stones. But im not in love with the idea. I love colors, i live in in seasonal new jersey and the plot gets a good amount of sun with slight shade from a near by tree. Any ideas would be sooo appreciated, pictures would be beyound helpful. Nothing to extravagant though, im only 16 =]

Thanks!

I agree splitting the space with a path would limit what you can do with the space. If it is possible to buy additional compost that is the place to begin. Most flowering plants need plenty of organics in the soil to feed them and retain water in the soil between when you water. Also since you have a lovely place to sit consider the planting bed a frame to your space.

Choose one or two complementing anchors to the site. Usually compact shrubs or a small specimen tree. I like to work with a vertical shrub rose that grows in a vase shape. Rising above the soft billowing shapes of the flowering plants, the more definite forms and striking foliage of shrubs and small trees can anchor the color themes of a border.
Just as a shadowbox organizes small treasures into a unified collection, a select group of shrubs can form a small bay to enclose and feature a plant collection.
To begin think on terms of a color you like such as bronze with old gold and earth tones. Or hot summer spices cerise, paprika, and chartreuse paired with deep maroon or burgundy. Next think of texture. Some leaves are so shiny that they seem to have a coat of wax; the glossy leaves of holly and the shiny foliage of Glossy Abelia. Other foliage absorbs light like velvet does, silver lamb’s ear can make a soft edger that invites fingers in to touch and calm down a bright riot of color.
A tall backdrop of Smoke tree, Cotinus coggygria, ‘Royal Purple’ or ‘Grace’ at one side and a Rosa glauca at the far corner set the seen. Plant a filigree of bronze fennel between to filter and add a translucent veil across the view beyond. If you banked the soil so it sloped up to the back it could raise the plants farther and cradle your patio within its arc.
Plant between with blue-gray rue [Ruta graveolens] or the hardy plumbago [Ceratostigma] with reddened foliage and late blue flowers.
For fill look up Achillea ‘Terracotta’, ‘Fanal’, ‘Faust’
Crocosmia’s, ‘Solfaterre’, ‘James Coey’ or ‘Culzean Peach’
Dahlias for blooms into September like ‘Summer Night’ and ‘Black Spider’ and my favorite ‘Bishop Landaff’
Include bulbs to begin the bloom in March with Iris reticulata, then early single tulips in April, followed by late singles that flower in May.
http://www.rainyside.com/features/plant_gallery/shrubs/Rosa_glauca.html
The Rosa glauca only blooms once so grow a little viticella clematis up its branches for a second bloom in the summer.

Another pair of anchors could be Rosa ‘Mutabilis’ and the stems of Cornus ‘Midwinter Fire’ for winter interest. With Verbena bonariensis between as the back drop veil.

Peach is one of those colors that complements so many others. Think of luscious shades of melon, apricot, and coral. Blue is the complementary color so imagine cool blue spires of Veronica incana and Salvia superba ‘Blue Hill’ in contrast in both color and shape to the soft rosy peach blossoms of rose ‘Pat Austin’. By surrounding them with companions that echo one or more of those tints, such as lilies ‘Alpen Glow’ or ‘Peach Butterflies’ and the summer foliage of Spirea bulmaldii ‘Goldflame’.
Set blue Color echoes in plants-pots of Nasturtium ‘Tip Top Apricot’ on the patio. For this setting start the season with ‘Gypsy Queen’ hyacinths and ‘Apricot Beauty’ tulips paired with a blue scilla or grape hyacinths. Finish the season with bronze balls of dahlia ‘Crichton Honey’ for a striking combination that lasts until first frosts.

Color echoes in plants.
Spirea magic carpet has cerise tipped bright gold foliage in spring that settles to a more subtle gold green in summer with dark pink flowers.
Dianthus gold dust- matches spirea flowers or the black-eyed magenta flowers on Geranium ‘Ann Folkard’.

Carmine blossoms Clematis ‘Ville de Lyon’ paired with
Wine purple English rose ‘The Prince’ or English rose ‘Charles Rennie Macintosh’ Clematis like to climb and do well climbing up through a rose or a small tree.
http://www.naturehills.com/new/articles/rose_and_clematis_companions.aspx
http://www.kengourley.com/rosecompanions.html
Fronted with Erysimum linifolium ‘Wenlock Beauty’ a dark-leafed evergreen wallflower. Bronzy mauve, buff yellow, and rosey pink 4-petaled flowers in spring. Trim back well after flowering to keep from sprawling.

Hemerocallis ‘Druids Chant’ & ‘El Desperado’ with
‘Ballistic’ a standard dwarf bearded iris- Yellow w/ striking, wide claret purple bands

Fixing Up Your Indianapolis Real Estate

When putting your home on the Indianapolis real estate market, there are plenty of things you can do to make your property desirable. Keep in mind, there are hundreds of potential homes for sale at any given time, so it’s up to you to make your stand out in any way you can. While adding as room or replacing the roof might be a bit extreme, there are some simple things you can do to make your home a sure sell.

First off, there are plenty of drab homes on the Indianapolis real estate market, so why not paint yours? A fresh coat of paint takes the work out of the buyer’s hands and makes the home seem fresh and new. Don’t be afraid to get bold with your choices, and try to give each room its own personality through color. The worst that could happen is that you have to offer to repaint a room, and if that’s what it takes to sell your home, then that’s what it takes.

Another trick you can use to make your Indianapolis real estate more desirable is to change your door handles. Door handles run about $40 a piece, but when looking at a home, it’s the subtle things like this that tend to stand out. Consider how much nice a car looks when you put new hubcaps on it; your doors will behave the same way. Plus, the cost of replacing one door can be as high as $200, and that’s not counting the cost of the handle. Your home will look newer and cleaner, and the most it will take is a days worth of replacements.

A third trick is to redo your bathrooms. This doesn’t mean going through and completely revamping everything, but something as simple as putting in matching shower towel racks, toilet paper hangers and toilet seats can add a style and rhythm to your rooms. This can also give the appearance of newness without having to do anything major, like replace the tub or toilet.

Another quick home trick for sprucing up your Indianapolis real estate is to put in new curtain rods. You’ll probably show the home bare, but curtains or curtain rods are acceptable, and having something modern and clean in place can lend to the general cheeriness of the property. Make sure that it has a warm feeling, and your clients will be more inclined to buy.

A final trick is to tend the yard. For $80-$150, most landscaping companies will aerate or seed your lawn, and some will also apply week killer and fertilizer to give your yard a rich, healthy look. A healthy yard says that your Indianapolis real estate is a solid buy, because if you’ve tended to the yard, obviously you must have tended to the rest of the property.

There are plenty of tips and tricks for people looking to sell on the Indianapolis real estate market, you just have to make sure that the ones you choose lend to the value of your home. IN the end, you only need to do enough to sell the house, but be sure to make what you do count.
