backyards ideas...

[StankBacon]

so ive been racking my brain lately to come up with some landscaping ideas for my backyard...

below is a mspaint overhead of my yard, i need to measure it and get some pictures of the yard from different angles but for now this is all i have for you guys to work with...

im mainly concerned with the grass area, as it is now the grass is in terrible shape and needs to be completely redone.

id like to turn that window area into a door that leads to a deck.. dunno how big it should be tho, or where the stairs coming down should be.

id also like to dig out a little pond with some of them flat rocks around it, but where in the yard should that be placed? in the back or the middle... off to the side?


any ideas you can come up with will be of great help, as i have no imagination or vision for this type of thing.

remember to get lots of fish too bro



well maybe just a pond..

ok i got some pics, as you can see the electricity meter could be a problem for a deck... i wonder if that could be moved?

yah the yard is pretty small and shitty, so im limited in what i can do... but i need to do something :|

sup pork. you don't have to move the electricity meeter, all you'd have to do is leave a small hole where the deck would meet flush with the wall. you could build a really nice deck back there, which would open up the driveway.

also, the deck should only be one to two foot off of the ground...

Well, i recall seeing a backyard where a guy made some nice forerunner looking structures on his backyard out of junk metal, you should do the same.

and fire place would be nice as well.

Remodel it to look like your fave blood gulch

Wartorn Cove remake.

Invite all of us over for drinks.

Done deal.

[StankBacon]

i wish i had a giant piece of land and was rich, because id definitely do something like that lol.

walking around wtc would be fucking epic... id get drunk in the sniper tower for sure.

[Bodzilla]

but just like normal, you wouldnt be able to hit shit.

which therefore means your snags on the barbie are as good as ours.

[Cojafoji]

mmm, i know it's not the biggest piece of land, but you could throw up a high wooden fence, and dump in one of those little pond things, and then put a little bridge over it, surround it with stones, and shrubbery, and then lounge around it with your feet in the pond on cool summer evenings sipping strong bourbon drinks, or ice cold beer, whilst checking out the hooters on that hot girl that you invited, who is totally digging you, because you have a MOTHERFUCKING POND IN YOUR BACKYARD.

Landscape your garden Hong Kong style! i.e. concrete the whole thing over! :downs:
No seriously, they do that here...

[Rook]

couldn't tell you want to do either. Just go out there and maybe you'll do something right. :downs:

(get a small deck so that you can grill/smoke/smokesmoke)
(Ponds are too much fucking money.)

[rossmum]

Ponds are great if you feel like dealing with toxic sludge every other weekend, I know this from experience.

[Bodzilla]

L2pondecosystem.

they do need ALOT of shade though.
how much you looking at spending, what is the goal in mind?

[StankBacon]

money don't matter.

ill prolly just end up with a deck and new grass for now, if i feel like digging out a pond or something later ill do it.

[Huero]

add a fire pit to keep out the infidels
and turn the window into a trap door so that you can surprise anybody that tries to sneak in with a spike to the face

A colossal waste of time and resources

bunch of expensive tech and/or animals that maintain something purely aesthetic

I'm stumped

[Rook]

Why does money do not matter?

I had ducks. I don't think any further explanation is needed.

[Inferno]

money don't matter.

In that case dig out the old grass and sod it with 100 dollar bills and plant golden acorns.

Also beaver creek in your backyard.

Uhhhhh roger that.

How about a path of tree canopies. Leading to a big circle full of trees and a pool?

[L0d3x]

Bottomless pit, you can use it as a water storage depot too!
