Also, one should consider long and hard about whether or not TV is the place for them. We are a large community with lots of things to get irritated with, if one chooses to. |

I also remember getting mowed down by people who were really irritated by my questions. People wondering if I was a troll, etc. I was told that there were other places to live and no one was twisting my arm. I was told a lot and it didn't seem very welcoming and kind and hospitable to me. Now I have become one of "you people" who love this place, the atmosphere, the structure, the way it is run and I am annoyed big time if I hear it criticized. Please check us out good. It IS lower paradise. I think you will see why we smart folks chose this place. I hope to welcome you home. NO. I don't sell real estate and I still have NEVER met a Morse, and I don't get a dollar for everyone I rope in to buy here, like my friends accuse me of back home.

We have rock in our beds at this house, I think our shrubs do not do as well as our other house with pine straw

I too had heard that plants "burn" or don't do as well in rock, as opposed to pine straw or mulch. I can attest that every single one of our plants, bushes, shrubs and trees are completely contained in rock islands, for the last four years, and they are thriving.

From an expert:
Type, size, and quality of the stone as well as the fabric type and quality of installation will all be huge factors. You could end up with weeds galore or very few and easy maintenance. There are several 'tricks' I use to keep the weeds at bay that the typical landscaper does not know. Education and experience does have advantages. You can bet the lowest prices you get not only do not have Workman's Comp insurance, but are cutting every corner available to make the most money off of you. You don't always get what you pay for, but you never...EVER.. get what you don't pay for. |

As examples..
The topcommercial weed block is not available at Home Depot |

The volcanic and 'timberlite' stone are very poor choices

I'm interested in getting larger (at least "quarter" size) white/light color stones/river rock. Anyone know a good source? My neighbors on either side of me have stone front/back yards (Patio Villas) Can't imagine how/why I could be "denied"... We close on our new place on the 31st.. I'm only going to be able to be there for 1 week...and then rentals start. I doubt I'd be lucky enough to catch one of the meetings for the approval, and still have time to do the work. (Doing it myself) Inquiring mind wants to know... |
