- Welcome Gardeners! Today was surprisingly a VERY productive day at the new property! I had planned just to update you on the painting progress in today’s video, but I received a phone call from the arborist letting me know he had a cancellation the next morning! That meant the palm trees were coming out! Thing are happening people! 🌴 Enjoy!

Your grouping of peach trees are planted in the “Grow a little fruit tree” method, which is a book by Ann Ralph. I highly recommend reading it. Dave Wilson Nursery also has a lot of videos on youtube about how to prune fruit trees to keep them on the smaller side (so you don’t need a ladder to pick the fruit). For the grouping, you would essentially prune it as if it were one tree, by keeping the center open and branches growing outwards.
I came here to say this!! Dave Wilson recommends this planting method!
Hut send before finishing. I enjoy watching your CZcams videos. I look forward each day wondering what you're going to do next. Keep up the wonderful, loving videos. Blessings to you and your family. ❤
Ask the propane company if you can paint the tank. Some companies will let you paint it. Be sure first before you do it. If they do paint it to match the fence so it blends in.
That seems like an excellent idea!
I was thinking about that
There’s also propane tanks that can be buried, just another exspense though. 😬
Have you thought of putting a door in the front of your kitchen to the bunny palace (former apartment) area? It would make it so much more accessible. And I know your girls would be really disappointed, but this former apartment area would make an amazing master bedroom suite. That would solve your small master bedroom issue. It would also be nice to have the master bedroom on the other side of the house.
What a difference a day makes!
I’m starting to see your vision. 😁
Also, the office looks so much better painted out brighter. Good decision. Loving everything
💕🏡 🌳
This was so exciting to watch. Removing the large shrubs has totally changed look of the home.
The day after our professional landscaper planted our backyard, watering front and back drained our water tank. This was in Madera County. We quickly learned we would need another well to support all our plants. We also needed a reverse osmosis system for water quality. We loved living in the country but the wells needed a lot of upkeep. Be sure to leave easy access for large vehicles to be able to access your well. I’m 72 and your planters inspired me to start a container garden on my patio. We live in Clovis, Ca., also zone 9b. Congratulations on your new home and gardens! I will enjoy watching the transformation of your new property!
Hi Janey, everyone will make suggestions of course but my idea would be to put your computer desk out at an 'L' from the window wall. Better for your eyes, preserves your beautiful view and lets in more of the gorgeous light ✨️ 😊
Your computer exposed to the sun over a period of time may not be good for it.
How satisfying was that! Who knew the huge rose removal would be so transformative! Thanks for sharing everything, Janie. Keep it coming!
These videos are so exciting I love watching all the progress and wow what a huge difference it’s all coming together 😁❤️🌸🌺🌻
❤❤Not long enough maybe😂🎉. Man oh man I am loving watching you take this on! Renovation videos are my favorite. You will be totally transforming your new place. I can’t even explain how much fun I will get from watching this. This is much better than any new tv series or whatever people look forward to watching. Best of luck to you!!! I love this so much. You’ve already inspired me for my own tiny yard.
Who would think going along w you in this video, for all this progress, would be so engrossing + rewarding?
We're going to be guests to an amazing, season-by-season transformation. This is a wonderful, creative oppty for you & Jason; your family will make such sweet memories here.
Really like the office space, it looks SO much bigger. You have so much enthusiasm in your voice today and its so great to see your joy :)
Love the white office area. Makes it look so much bigger. It's coming along, squirrels and bunnies oh my..
You scored today in getting the extra work done and finding the fruit and nut chart. Dave Wilson Nursery is one of the best fruit tree growers in the SJV. It's very common to have 4 fruit trees planted like that, in one hole, that have similar growth habits. It allows you to have a variety of fruit in a smaller space such as a backyard; as is the "fruit salad" trees where 4 different varieties are grafted on one root stock. Your scenario usually works better. That's why you "couldn't find those other fruit trees", they were included in one hole. I hope you have a good well with decent GPM, that's something you should consider when designing the landscape. You don't want to turn on the water and walk away and forget. Who will have to dig the new gas line from the new location to house, you or the propane company? Please be mindful of where the bunnies go, there's critters out there that would like to eat them. Small changes have already made a big difference!
Hi Janey! I have a suggestion..your arborist probably has to pay some place to dump all those chips he accumulates.. ask him if he would occasionally drop some off at your house; he could save $, and so could you! You will find that you need a great many! Laying down chips regularly will improve the soil, inhibit weeds, etc....you know all the benefits! Just a suggestion that you both benefit from. Great video! Ask him to drop chips from healthy trees and brush, of course.
Janey! How exciting to have an arborist guiding you regarding the proper trees to both plant and remove. The front yard is looking more and more like a blank slate. You, Jason and the girls will have years of enjoyment making this property your own.💖🌲🌲🌲🌻
Yes. Especially the info about the two ornamental plums. I hope she has them removed before the landscaping begins.
What a blessing the information from the arborist! If you burn make sure your county is not in a burn ban. You could rent a heavy duty chipper. I see a truck in your future!
What a great day ... the smile on your face tells the whole story !!!! So good to get all the "junk" out and start with a clean slate. Looking forward to what comes next ... it's going to be an exciting, beautiful journey and I'm so grateful you have chosen to share it all with us !!! 😎
I would paint the whole fence on your side a medium gray, it would look so much better, then you could paint the propane tank, and the other tank, and they will blend in like there not there. The tree removal looks great !!
Your friend Robbie knows a thing or 2 about aphids dripping in his garden. Those changes made such a huge difference. I am so excited to see your new videos added. Michael Glassman is a genius. You are so fortunate to have him near.
What a difference with the fresh paint, and your office! And with having all those trees and rosebushes taken out. Is fun to watch the progress! Just wanted to say thank you SO much for letting my sister bring me by your old house and to tour your garden the other day, especially when you have SO much going on with moving! It was an honor and a dream come true to be able to see it firsthand before you moved! Thank you for being so sweet and gracious during a very busy period of your lives. I can't wait to see what you do with this new home and garden! ❤
Your videos are never too long! I enjoyed this one so much. It reminded me of our move to the country and how exciting it is to make things your own. We also removed a huge palm tree and it was SO satisfying! The office looks spectacular. My new favorite CZcams channel. 😊
If the ornamental plum is removed, I would think that moving the gate so the opening is centered on the island would make a much nicer view when entering than looking down a long blacktop driveway. Also a better view from the house.
I agree. I would remove all the trees there and all the bricks in that flower bed and redo that entire space. More opportunities with different gates also.
Goodmorning everyone! It's going to be a busy day! Have fun
Check around and see if your area has a yard waste compost site . We here in Pa, have a compost site, we pay a fee per year, then are given a bob...(key like) to open the gate, drive through and drop off our waste. They have two spaces, one for yard waste, one for wood waste. NO grass clipping are allowed ...because of chemicals that might have been used on them. After the item have composted or been chipped, they have free, mulch or compost.. Load your own. It is available to use 7days a week , from dawn to dust, no night time access. Love it. Check around and see if your area has one.
I had a kitchen in the middle of the house, we put in a skylight and it made a world of difference. You might think of that for your kitchen. The house looks so clean, can’t wait to see what you do with the house and yard. So excited for you.
That’s a great idea!!! And it could be an ode to the sky light fixture🤣
If a skylight doesnt fit you can always do a sun tunnel. They are great. I have two and the light is amazing
JanneyI’m so happy for you and family i can’t wait all the changes 😊
Janey!! The four stone fruit trees planted so closely together is called Backyard Orchard Culture from Dave Wilson’s Nursery. That’s how they recommend homeowners to plant their trees to maximize space and how these trees will produce fruit at different times.
If you have big weedy patches around your landscape, to tamp down and keep it from getting 'out of hand', you can go with the 'no till method' of laying down cardboard (which you'll probably have on hand from the move) and then placing a thick layer of mulch on top. It will sit and break down into compost until you're ready to deal with that part of the yard - Because it sounds like you will be working on section by section. All the tree mulch will go to good use without having to burn it
OH yes Janey we enjoyed it, this whole move is so exciting !!!! You're getting so much done already ! Love watching all the changes.
What a difference. I am glad they were able to remove the bushes too. I am sure once they tank is moved you will really be able to work out the vision of the front area. Soo Fantastic you were able to walk around with your arborist and discuss the trees in and around your property so you can start planning what to plant sooner rather than later so the privacy trees have time to grow. Soo exciting for you and your family.
Living in Florida I do love palm trees and watching them being cut up felt like they were being murdered .
Wish you had called a nursery who could have dug them up and transplanted them for sale somewhere else where they would have been appreciated. So sad .
Can you paint the propane tank the same color as the fence so it will blend in? So much progress already!
I use a small chipper for my yard waste. Much better than trying to man a burn pile plus I can use the chips in my garden.
What brand size and cost😊⁉️please…
@@patriciacole8773 it isn't fast but for most of my pruning and storm cleanup it gets the job done.
Hügelkultur!!! If you didn’t learn about this in your master garden classes, google Hugelkultur beds. You can use them for vegetable beds or flower beds. We have used them in very larger planter containers, raised beds, and in burms. Also, ask your arborist to bring you wood chips when they are in your area! They need to dump them somewhere! Your property is beginning to look like a blank canvas. But remember the first place to begin is with the soil! Wood chips, compost, and hugelkultur returns living organisms back to the soil! And if you do burn any wood, be sure to use your ashes in your soil. #soilhealth!
Office looks great , like shiplap!
Loved Micheal’s plan so much!
Wow, what a difference. The best thing is you have that large driveway for the trucks to easily get in there and do their work.
Hi Janey, your shoulders must’ve dropped a ton watching your land get cleared and the painting being done! How timely was that arborist visit and assessment! I am so happy for you! 🌸❤️🇨🇦
Best day ever!! A great arborist is worth his weight in gold - so glad you found one.
That beam in the office would look great with herbs hanging from it to dry. White was the way to go. That tree company did a terrific job. Hopefully the camouflage for the propane tank won't compete with that beautiful gate that's planned. Sounds like it's time for the plum trees to go. What a great tour, thank you.
That is so cool that you found the Fruit and Nut Harvest Dates chart, and you can now have a better idea of what type of trees you have. I love BM white dove paint. We were surprised at how many shades of white there were too! The white will make everything look fresh and new, and you can then easily add color with your furnishings and accents. Janey, your new place is going to be a showstopper inside and out! What a fantastic experience you had with the tree company! I was just as excited as you to see all that they did. That was very smart of you to ask for the chips. They like it too because it saves them from having to haul it to the dump. I had no idea they would be also be willing to remove the roses and the buddleia, and they even offered to remove the retaining wall?! Wow! You struck gold with them. Say, why don't you paint the propane tank and put our "Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat" on it? I loved every minute of this video, and cannot wait to see the next one!😄
From another rural California gardener. We do burning here in Monterey county, but we need to get a burn permit and follow certain rules like checking before we burn if it is a burn day, which is weather dependent. Also burn season is usually only January to May, also depending on how much moisture we get. You're also limited to the size of a pile you can burn, but you can add more as your pile burns down. When burn season is over, we make small piles of the garden debris and ny husband chops them up by running over them with the mower attached to our tractor. We also feed a lot of the trimmings to the 2 steer we keep in our pasture. But we have 17 acres and a lot of room to make piles. With your smaller property with most of it being garden area, a chipper might be the best way to go. And you might want to check with your goat neighbor if they would mind if you fed some of your trimmings to his goats, checking to make sure what you give them isn't poisonous.
Your enthusiasm is contagious !!!!!!!! You always make this old woman smile, especially on a day that I really need it ! Now I want to paint and I want to rip out some overgrown bushes !!! Clean it up and start new !!!!!! Looking so good already. Amazing what small changes can do. Always look forward to your videos.
God Bless you, hold you tight.
Wow, the property looks fabulous after removing the palms and old roses and stumps! How satisfying it was to watch!
Just found your website and so far I am enjoying it. I do have a suggestion that you have your desk go past the window to the left and not have your computer screen obscure any light or your view. That’s what I did with mine and it really makes a difference being able to look out and see everything through the window rather than having it blocked.
In my rural county in Oregon, woody debris can be taken to the county dump, where it is turned into organic compost, or to a nearby landscape supply company, which also uses it to make organic compost. But you do need to haul it! You might need a pickup truck now that you're in the country!
OMGoodness I absolutely love everything, especially your new office! What a well deserved space for you to have now! I can see a Dig Plant Water Repeat sign/logo on the door with a small black and white striped awning above the door, similar to what Tracy from Plaid and Poppies has on her sheds. And maybe even a larger one on the back of your office above where you were talking about making your potting station. How adorable would that be?! 😍
Hi Janey - I'm loving following along on your new journey. Moving from the burbs to the country is a whole new experience; septic tanks, wells, propane, critters, the list goes on and on! I wish you and your family all the best and thank you for bringing us all along for the ride😊
Suggestions, in front of kitchen big room, make it family room, the other side of kitchen make dinning room, the room long one, make your husband office, he needs private room ,
It make sense. Congrats. Good luck to make a beautiful house/ garden❤
I just love your spirit! I agree about the master bedroom, the "world" tells you that you need this huge space. But you've got such a good attitude about it all. The home is so welcoming. I'm glued to your channel to watch all that is unfolding. Enjoy the journey!
Jim Putnam has video about a wood chipper that he purchased. He said it's not too expensive and it gets the job done. You might check that out. WOW what a wonderful day it was for you and haven't that pile of wood chips, that's like gold!! Everything is looking fantastic. On side note you might watch the bunnies being in the house with the smell of paint. Maybe open some windows for ventilation. I'm so excited for you and your family. Yall deserve this so much and you are gonna take such wonderful care of this property. It is going to be gorgeous. I can't wait each day for the next video.-Susan R. ❤❤
Yep, black walnut tree. You are soooo fortunate to live on such a wonderful property.
Your videos make me smile. An idea you may already have had, is to take down the two lots of overhead cabinets in the kitchen, that will make the dining, kitchen, office area more open and add light to the kitchen. Love the progress you have made already.....
Agree! Removing those upper kitchen cabinets above countertop/bar area would be transformative for the feel of the kitchen. Also, when the countertops are changed, I would change the bar height section and make it all one counter height. It will feel more gracious and “new”. Also increase the counter overhang enough to comfortably have eating area with bar stools (counter height stools).
We live on seven acres and the country life in the garden can be a struggle! With your knowledge and passion you’ve got this! Three things: get on those ground squirrels asap, if you plan to do Ag burning you need to check the fire district for burning into like seasons, days, or permits. Lastly, you need a pick up truck! I think we can all see you in a truck living the country life. So excited for you!
Find a metal 50 or more gallon barrel - get the lid taken off & use that for a burning barrel.
Couldn’t wait to watch another video towards the progress of your landscape…. 🌲 🤓 🌲
We have so much debris from maintaining our acre yard that we invested in a trailer about 15 years ago. We park it in the back and take it to a local Fresno County green waste facility when it’s full. We use big tarps to collect and drag to the trailer. For a maintenance plan, my husband took aerial shots with his drone and I printed out a photo, outlined 7 zones, gave them colors and assigned days to each color. That way, e.g., I know my focus on Monday is the pink zone even if the other zones also need attention. I try to spend at least 30 minutes everyday in the assigned zone. Otherwise, I feel totally overwhelmed. I did something similar with our irrigation zones. We tried to find someone to hire for maintenance, but they all want to just mow and blow which is not what we need. We only hire for specific projects. I’m so excited to see what you’re going to do! I’m happy to share what we’ve learned in the past 35 years transforming our large space into something we love!
Lookin' good, Janey! How about matting and framing the fruit tree chart and hanging it in your office? A real pop of color on the white wall, as well as some "history" of your property. Just a suggestion.!
Can’t wait to see what’s next! 🌺💚🙃
Janey you are going to love a desk top monitor. I have a huge one with a big screen in my office where I do all my ordering and watch all my videos and I love it. Its the best thing ever. Got it at the Apple store. The office and house looks great painted. Couldn't wait to watch todays video. An arborists is a wealth of information. So happy he had time to explain everything to you.
Finding that Dave Wilson fruit tree poster is a good clue to your orchard area. Dave Wilson teaches a high density planting technique which you have right in your front yard with those four trees planted so close together. You’ll want to check into that when your life settles down.
There are videos about it on Urban Farmstead. Kyle is in Sacramento and shows all about it! The basic idea is to keep trees short so you don’t have to harvest on tall ladders. Planting close together keeps them short, along with specific pruning techniques.
I’m in Utah but my daughter is close to you so I’ve been enjoying getting gardening zone ideas from you to share with her!
Good luck with your move and all the fun gardening plans! I’ll be eagerly watching the transformation.
I love all the changes! Crazy what a difference some paint and tree removal can make. So exciting!!! 🎉
So glad you were able to remove so many trees/bushes.. it’s all coming together.. it’s going to look fantastic.. enjoy the process 🌸🌻🌸
White is my favorite color. Everyone has always thought ....wait, what? And I'm like, yep my favorite color. Did entire interior (ceiling, walls, trim, doors) in Benjamin Moore Simply white. I bought and older home too, so when it was done it was beautiful!! I had to live in my house for a few years before it was done, so it was SO wonderful after it was done. Like a whole new home.
WOW.....what a transformation already 😊
What a wonderful journey your all going to have ❤ ENJOY
Your neighbors will certainly have some info on debris removal, dumps nearby, etc. Some of your larger limbs or logs could be saved for Pond Decoration or an eventual fire pit. ❤ how it's all progressing!
I wonder if they can burn wood in fire pits in California? I suspect bc of fire risk they might be limited to gas most of the year. That’s how a lot of drought and high fire areas are.
@@kmsch986 Here in France, we're not supposed to burn debris, even in Winter. However, out in the countryside ...
Careful with the mulch chips, we used mulch chips from trees we removed and it ended up being full of bad bugs so we ended up having to remove it.
things are looking soooo good. Love the fresh coat of White Dove paint. Makes things so open and clean looking. Now the yard,.. can't wait for the progress of that. Was fascinating watching them take out things, and make it into mulch. NICE. Great videos, I'm hooked. LOL. I love all the fruit trees you have. we moved, 8 years ago, to a one level (due to age and ability to climb stairs) and small yard. I have made the small yard a plant haven and love it, but, miss the junior acre with many fruit trees, at my old house. Fun to watch yours and have lovely memories. Can't wait for the next video! Video was NOT too long. sending love,hugs,prayers
Your videos are never too long. I could watch them for hours! So excited to follow along and watch the transformation. What a difference you’ve already made! ❤❤
Love love love the white office, gorgeous!
I am so enjoying this journey into your new home and all of the land that you are managing and designing. The White Dove looks fabulous in the house. My best guess is you will paint the outside grey. Your pace and sense of order are impressive. I will be tuning in daily as I'm so excited for you and looking forward to seeing everything!!! You are simply outstanding at your craft.
Things are looking up. Lots of things done, lots of information and lots of help. Yard debris, living in city limits has some perks, Will watch the transformation. Little by little, step by step it will come together. The best decision is not to stress about a timeline.
I wish my husband and I had hired a painter for our house before we moved in. I think that's what my husband was planning for us to do. But I was ambitious and thought that we could tackle it together and save some money.WRONG! We have been in this house for two-and-a-half years and it is still not completely painted. We have 5 rooms that are mostly painted. 2 of those 5 rooms are the kids rooms. And the rest of the house has not been touched . Those 2 are the only rooms that are completely painted. Our hallway has a bunch of doorways and only 2 of them are painted white. LOL. I seriously regret that decision. Because now it's going to be more difficult to paint because we have furnished most of the house.🤦 but anyway your place looks great! I'm so happy for you guys! It feels so good to just get some things completed. Even if you're not finished. But those main things to be taken care of is such a relief.
The yard is coming along, it’s definitely baby steps. It’s so nice to get everything organized first before beginning the design. I would suggest asking a Irrigation co. To come out and check all the lines and have them move that station in the front of your house to a more secluded area , so weird they put all that piping and landing in the front against the house🤷🏻♀️ you may want to update the timer organization box as well, the newer ones are easy and connected to your phone so you can control any zone from your phone ..the co. Should also walk around and point out all the zones and what needs changing in the sprays and drip part.
That struck me also when she showed the irrigation stations right in the front of the house. It is already close to the corner & could just be tucked around on the side of the house & out of the site lines.
Love the New Place. The Possibilities are endless. You are so Brave and enthusiastic. I am so excited to watch the transformation. Thanks for including us in Your journey.
When you drop fruit on the ground, critters are happy. Rats love peaches.
Thank you for all the details about the arborist, Janey! For a year, my husband and I have been saying we need an arborist but we were clueless as to how to find a good one. There seem to be a lot of tree trimmers out there, but you can't make a mistake trimming a tree without big consequences. I learned a ton from this video--thanks!
Looks very nice..love the crisp white! Lovely Janie!
Love how bright your office looks. Yay getting things cleared out and getting mulch. Hopefully you know, but bunnnies are notorious for chewing cords, so putting anything that is plugged in the bunny bungalow inside cable.protectors is advised. I think a door from the dinning into the bungalow would be good too, but you all will see what works.
Changes are looking fantastic! It's a shame they couldn't move the gas propane to the back of the property where it could be hidden. It's these annoying necessities that mess with our garden designs. 😂 I'm sure you'll be able to hide it somehow.
Dave Wilson is famous for the “Grow A Little Fruit Tree” method of pruning. Check out the book if you haven’t already. I think that’s what the previous owner planned with your four fruit trees in the same hole. 😊
Moving fast, it’s turn the corner 👍🏽
Happy Gardening 🪴
The zig zag will disappear when you get other smaller planters around the white ones on. I have become a fan. I have always seen myself as having a black thumb but somehow, I have fallen in love with gardening. I am learning so much from you and I can't wait to see what all you do with it. I loved seeing your excitement with the designer's plan ideas for you. It will be amazing!
Yeah, Flowering Prunus (ornamental plums) tend towards the purple/red leaves, whereas normal plums have green leaves. We had about 6 types of plum tree in the orchard, but Grandma had 3 different ornamental ones in her yard next door. She always told us not to eat them, but my siblings and I sometimes did anyway! 🤭
Yay!!! You got your palm trees removed and free mulch! When I saw that they started throwing things into the wood chipper, I immediately thought the same thing-how all that could be used as mulch for your garden.
It did seem strange that concrete goes right up to the trunk of one plum. And 4 trees planted together? I agree with you; I would never burn anything. It is too scary! We are able to compost a lot and just bit by bit get the rest out in the bin. I hate to see a plant go but palms tend to be thirsty and you have fruit trees to water! Enjoy!
Glad you are having so much fun with your new country property. I live on a farm in San Joaquin County. Traditionally, you need to contact your county and request a burn permit and tell them the purpose farming, orchard etc. There are specifically designated burn days that are posted on line. Burning without a permit is illegal. Burning on non-burn days is illegal and there are fines. I just don't burn anymore due to regulations. I haul everything out or chip it myself. Enjoy your journey and keep having fun.
The office is beautiful. The white will be so much better with the floors.
Thanks for the video. We appreciate you sharing the journey with us. The paint makes everything look new.🥰. Hopefully one day can remove those upper kitchen cabinets & add more cabinet space along the back walls. Everything is coming along nicely.
Hi Jeany. Your new house looks beautiful inside with the fresh paint. I can imagin your home and garden will look gorgeous when finished. Great video's. Take care and happy moving. 👍👌💚
Good choice of house color -- White Dove. Love it all! So fun to watch.
We live on 2 1/2 acres and everything adds up fast lol ONE of our favorite plants are Carolina cherry trees. No maintenance and the birds clean up the berries. Just make sure you plant them far apart if you every buy them. They give off a really pretty country look, super green glossy leaves and grow about 8 to 10 wide and 12 to 15 feet tall. They will hide a lot of your fencing and give you nice privacy. Can’t wait to see what you
One of the best garden and home videos ever! Very interesting and informative to watch about fruit trees, olive trees…love the fig tree and pomegranate! Always looking forward and excited to watch the progress of your new house and garden transformation Janey❤
Just a suggestion before it is taken down, if it already isn't, you might want to print photos from the sale listing, Those are a great before reference too.
I love watching the process of new gardens! What a fun day. Just FYI, I think you can paint the gas tank. You might ask the gas company. You can make it disappear! I live in western NC and there’s a lady who painted a large tank as the Beatles yellow submarine and has a Beatles themed Garden. Very creative. Anyways, just a thought. Love your channel! 💐
The office looks so great and the house looks so new and fresh. You might want to order some Antique Candle co. candles they smell delicious- will really make it smell wonderful. It is really beginning to come together, so nice of the arborist co, to take out all the other bushes. What a find with that fruit and nut poster, would look neat hanging in the office.
I've waited all weekend for this update, yay! ❤
Great progress!! I'm so happy for you. You are just beaming!!! A lot of work ahead but when you love when you do, it's a labor of love!! ❣❣❣❣
Your arborist did such a great job. His information about all your trees as well as the neighbors trees is so important in this planning phase. The painting in your office really was the right choice. Happy moving!
Well that was satisfying! What a nice visual difference.
We burn our brush-it’s not as scary as you think. Thankfully, when we moved in, our neighbor gave us some great tips. In our area of SoCal, you have to call the county to get permission to burn when you live outside city limits. They ask what you’re burning (brush) and how big your piles are (4-5’ x 4-5’). If you don’t call to get permission, you can be fined (if caught). Just keep your piles small and away from the house, and make sure you have water very nearby. Good luck!
Hi Janey. I am glad you removed those palms. I personally don't like palms. It looks so much better.
Those palm trees were not thriving. They require well-draining soil. Esthetically, they seemed to be lone warriors with nothing around them. They did not seem to enhance a particular part of the view or angle of the house. Usually an arborist will caution the owner before taking down a healthy tree.
