Shade garden retreat |Lynne Dobson |Central Texas Gardener

What can you do on an unwieldy slope of lawn and tons of shade? Lynne Dobson and husband Greg Wooldridge found the answer when they banished lawn for tranquil terraced garden retreats and joyous artful surprises along the way. As a photographer, Lynne captivates the eye on every level in several garden rooms-from above, below, and close-up intimate details. Greg adds the finishing touches, like colorful bowling balls to dress up utilitarian dry stream drainage.

Outdoor "living rooms" is correct, and what a designer she is! She speaks with such depth, such appreciation, such wonder for The Creation. Thank You All 🌸🌿

How did you remove the Lawn? Please help!

Landscape architect BILL BOWER just as Lynne did .

Solarize the grass with black plastic for one whole season and then remove the sod. Solarizing kills the grass and seed.
