Rate my backyard set up...got new lights/furniture (CSLG)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 26th, 2020 10:32 AM Author: curious cobalt liquid oxygen Got new patio furniture/fire pit, fake grass, and low voltage lighting. I included daytime and night time pics. Those are my wife's legs in one of the photos. Wife and I spend at least a couple nights a week hanging out at the fire pit after the kids go to sleep. Having a nice outdoor area is 180 and super relaxing.

If you had about 50% more flat yard space it would be perfect, but it's good enough for kids to swim and have a grass area to play around. I'm currently in a townhouse and would kill to have an outdoor space to decompress at the end of the day. How much was your house?

Date: May 26th, 2020 1:20 PM Author: curious cobalt liquid oxygen This isn't Montana, brother. But, my neighborhood has its own park a block away with tons of grass, a jungle gym, and sand box. I also live 2 blocks from 30 miles of hiking trails. So backyard is mainly for swimming and sitting by a fire pit at night.

Date: May 26th, 2020 4:43 PM Author: abusive elite resort Brother, in all honesty, not a fan of the shape of your backyard. You have plenty of space but no area seems big enough because of the layout. I also think your landscape lighting could have been a little more classy, you don't need to put it in so many places on the hill. I also think if you're going to go through the hassle of having a pool, something bigger than a New Delhi canal would be appropriate.
Overall I rate your backyard a 165 because it looks new and updated unlike the majority of yards in your area. Hope this helps. |

Date: May 26th, 2020 4:52 PM Author: diverse keepsake machete crackhouse 174. the pool seems kinda like it was squeezed in there, almost like an after-thought. only really looks good for swimming laps.
i like the landscaping on the slope but you could maybe grow some vegetables or something (some people might think that's a tacky suggestion but if you're going to put plants there might as well have something you can pick and eat). not sure what that middle strip is but looks almost like weeds from the picture (i'm sure it's not).
also, not part of the land/hardscaping but your furniture is kinda generic, like something that would be in the common area of an alright but not fancy hotel. |

Date: May 26th, 2020 4:50 PM Author: Histrionic indecent hall Looks nice. Landscaper talked us into adding professional lighting in our backyard, too (I was going to prole it up with market lights for a few hundred bucks), and it looks great at night. Understand the fence around the pool and you have to do it, but man...
I'd put a few fruit trees on the hill. Would help with privacy, too. Our one orange tree alone gives us 500-600 oranges/year.
Wife has impressive arches. Very familiar with the baby monitor set up. |

I assume there's a reason for it, but the fencing around the pool is kind of weird. |

Date: June 1st, 2020 2:25 PM Author: curious cobalt liquid oxygen I have a 1 year old and an almost 3 year old. Why would I not put a fence on my pool? I've never communicated once with my HOA in the 5 years I've lived at my home, brother. They send me a letter once a year letting me know about the annual budget. My HOA is actually 180. It's $135/month, provides armed 24/7 security, and maintains a 180 park 2 blocks from me where my kids play. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4542314&forum_id=2#40321423) |

Date: June 1st, 2020 2:39 PM Author: curious cobalt liquid oxygen No, I pay $90/month to some hispanic guy and he does a great job. I also have a wifi control that goes to an app on my phone.

My street is completely flat in front of my house, so the kids have plenty of room to play outside. |
