## Community Q&A

**Q: Needing help with curb appeal** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I am needing advice/help on curb appeal! We are going to list our home very soon. In this cookie cutter neighborhood- I want mine to pop! We have deer that visit and think that I have laid out a delicious salad bar for them whenever we put out anything but yellow lantana. I am not against laying sheets out at night. The mums are pretty but they are already needing to be dead-headed & then we lose the color.  We are located in San Antonio. Thanks!!

A: A fresh application of mulch can do wonders for curb appeal. We have some of our mulch types listed on our website at http://www.majormulchorlando.com/mulch-types if you want to look for some inspiration.

**Q: Curb Appeal Help** *(in Design Dilemma)*

My house isn't really any one style, but seems to be the most Craftsman.  I need curb appeal and want some opinions.  The posts, beam and garage door used to be cream, but stuck out because the windows are dark brown so I painted them (yesterday!). Hopefully you don't hate that too!  :)

A: We've added a ton of mulch types to our Houzz profile here: http://www.houzz.com/photos/users/majormulch. Feel free to use them as inspiration and/or in an ideabook for your project.

A fresh application of a nice colored mulch could do a lot for curb appeal here along with some plants/rocks. Color enhanced mulch will retain it's color for a good 6 months before it starts to fade. To maintain maximum curb appeal you want to replace it every year or so. We have a lot more information about mulch on our site at http://www.majormulchorlando.com if interested. Hope this helps!

**Q: Help with front lawn design** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Our front yard, is not large, but it is is approximately 30' x 20'. Two issues - we'd like to keep the bushes, which will provide a year round green backdrop for the front yard. However, we want to plant in front of them and we aren't sure what to put there. Also, on the left, you see a manhole, which we will not move. Any ideas to hide that is appreciated.

A: If you're looking for some different options/ideas on mulch you can check out some of our mulch types at http://www.majormulchorlando.com/mulch-types. A red mulch would look great with some low shrubs as CM suggested above.

We uploaded our mulch types to Houzz so feel free to use them in an ideabook if you want! See the high res shots here: http://www.houzz.com/photos/users/majormulch

**Q: I need help with curb appeal** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We are having trouble choosing a color palate and landscaping for the front of our house. The previous contractors apparently chose the color that was on sale- it is a really ugly brown with yellow undertones. We have nothing against brown but the one they chose is horrible. The front hedge is full of spiders and we would like to pull it out and replace it with low maintenance plants. Any ideas would be appreciated!

A: The front hedge is a bit large for the property, and the side garden looks a bit non-maintained. Contact a local nursery and ask about low maintenance shrubs and flowers and put them in some mulch beds.

Here are some ideas for mulch types you can use for inspiration: http://www.houzz.com/photos/users/majormulch.

In terms of flowers and shrubs, stick to something that does well locally, and make sure you take into account the shade that the tree there provides.

It looks like you have a little deck over on the right side of the image, maybe some flower boxes hanging off of those would give it a well-maintained look.

Lastly, weed the sidewalk weeds and pressure wash the driveway. With those few improvements you'll spruce up your curb appeal big time!

For more info about anything mulch related you can visit our profile here on Houzz or our website at http://www.majormulchorlando.com.

Hope all of this helps, and perhaps gives you a few ideas!

**Q: Full Frontal Problem** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Architecturally, this home is dated.  I think that taking the window mullions out and replacing the double front door with a new sidelight and door would help - I was thinking red.  What do you think about the hedge in front of the steps?  Anything else that would make it more inviting and modern please.

A: The hedge in the front steps gives you a more secluded path leading up to the stairs, which can be good, it needs to be trimmed though. With the doors and windows you have a farmhouse style happening, and mixing that with anything too modern might get confusing.

If you could manage it, and if it's in your budget, an attractive brick pathway and re-doing the stairs in the same brick (that can be the tricky/expensive part) might go a long way. If you did that however, you wouldn't want the hedge to block out the new pathway, so perhaps doing a lower to the ground mulch bed with some flowers or small shrubs.

See the attached photo for a bit of farm style pathway inspiration, and you can see a variety of mulch types on our Houzz photos page for inspiration. http://www.houzz.com/photos/users/majormulch

When it comes to mulch types, which you can read about on our website at http://www.majormulchorlando.com/mulch-types, for your style you would probably do best with something more natural, like bark mulch or hardwood mulch with no added color. If you did want a splash of color perhaps some gold or red mulch might do the trick, but for a more down home farm look I think natural is the way to go.

With some brick accents, some lower flower beds, and of course a fresh application of mulch you could have a well maintained look and feel to the property and you could really bring the farm style of the doors/windows to life.

I hope this helps!

**Q: Landscape Plan for Back Yard (Pictures in link inside)** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I am working on developing plans for my yard. It is long and thin, approx 50 ft x 380 ft. I am hoping the pictures are helpful. Pictures are linked here: http://imgur.com/a/py2sk. I am hoping this makes sense. I am wondering if I could get some critique of my plans.

Current Issues: 
1\) There is a tremendous amount of open lawn. It's really not all needed. It would be nice to have a paved/patio/deck area to lounge outside in. It's a lot to mow and maintain.
2\) The large tree next to the garage is too large. It takes up a tremendous amount of space right next to the house and garage, kills the grass below it, and creates a ton of debris (leaves, sticks).
3\) The grass area between the house and tree is 'clumpy?'. There are patches of dead grass or bare dirt. I suspect it is a combination of the dog plus the tree keeping light from getting into the lawn. It's just messy and rough.
4\) There are trees and bushes randomly placed in the 'first half' of the lawn. The 'second half' of the lawn, beyond the trees, is all open grass space. If I ever go out on the lawn to play, that's where I go, all the way out there. The 'first half' of the lawn is just trash.

So, my plans were initially to:
1\) Divide the yard in half. The 'first half', between the house and the small line of bushes in the center of the yard, a few pictures down. The 'second half' between the bushes and the end of the property (as far out as you can see in the open grass field). The first half being landscaped. The second half being kept open grass space. So, the landscaped area....
2\) Extend the deck around to the "right" side of the house. I have also thought about pulling out the wood from the concrete steps, and applying stone veneer. I do not know if it is possible to continue the stone veneer (like this: http://img2-1.timeinc.net/toh/i/step-by-step/12/01-clad-steps/concrete-steps-x.jpg) if I extend the deck.
3\) Extend the driveway, wrapping around the house so that when you look forward from the deck, the driveway consumes the space between the house and tree. Bushes lining the the outside edges of the driveway. The small red brick patio space being redone as driveway blacktop space or made into a garden of some kind (bushes or flowers). Alternatively, I thought that I could create a stone patio that would consume this space instead.
4\) Create edging wrapping around the large base of the tree, filling it with mulch. Just to make it look nice.
5\) Create a stone path of some kind from the driveway to the 'second half' of the property. Between the back of the garage and the bush line in the back being covered in ground cover or other shrubs. This space just would not be used, it would just be a landscaped 'nice' area to walk through to get to the open yard out back. It would also be an area for the dog to go potty. The stone path obviously cannot just end in the middle of nowhere, so somehow I would need to create a natural fence or gate into the other end of the property.

A: For some mulch ideas you can check out some of our mulch types here on Houzz. Feel free to use them in an ideabook. http://www.houzz.com/photos/users/majormulch

For some more information on mulch you can check out our website at http://www.majormulchorlando.com/. We have a mulch calculator and a lot of good information about best practices when it comes to using mulch in a landscaping situation.

I see in the pictures that you have a dog, so I'd recommend that you stay away from cocoa mulch. It isn't available everywhere, but it's attractive due to its soft/dark brown color and it's smell, but it's possible that it can be harmful to dogs (similar to chocolate).

Going with something natural like a hardwood blend or bark mulch will probably be your best bet.

Hopefully this all helps with the mulch part of your project! If you have any questions feel free to let us know!
