I wonder if an all rock yard would have any impact on the amazing plans for run off here. (I am not a fan of all rock yards to be fair)

The flooding of the golf courses and the saving of the homes here during Hurricane Irma was amazing. There was some flooding in the historic area but none anywhere else. The Golf courses did survive.

It is our experience in the two homes we have owned here that under the grass is sand.

Grass cutting is so very inexpensive here if you contract for a year, (We pay $50 a month) and grass is so pretty to see and those little grass blades take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, (THIS for the greenies)

PLUS, in both our homes here the foundation planting that came with the home is Florida Friendly in that it survives the freezing and are hardy and heat and bug resistant.
