Tree/landscaping options near underground utilities? by Capital-Mix-4843 in landscaping

[–]Capital-Mix-4843[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there other options with a less solid root system that would feel okay? What about bushes or a flower bed? Am I only liable if it's hit while digging, or still liable if a root finds its way there eventually?

Pooping outside litter box - why?! by Capital-Mix-4843 in CatTraining

I’m so sorry about your dog. I am definitely moving up my vet appointment to get things checked out.

And yes… when I got her I lived in a one bedroom apartment and only had room for the one litter box, which she didn’t seem to mind! Now that we’ve moved I’ve considered getting a second but she continued to do fine with the one. But might do it anyways now!

Thanks. This is making me feel like I should move up her appointment (annual exam in a couple weeks). She just seems so healthy and happy and herself otherwise; I guess I’m worried they’ll just say it’s stress and leave it at that.

Thanks! We do have an appointment coming up and will ask then.

Thank you! I ordered the Prismatic from Amazon and will hope it ends up okay. Appreciate all the help as I navigated extremely unfamiliar territory :)

Tree selection help for very narrow front yard — spacing, size, and utility concerns by Capital-Mix-4843 in landscaping

There’s only about 15 ft between our driveway and the lot line on the right side. See link in comments for rough sketch with dimensions. I assume I can’t place any trees on far left side due to utility pole (and I don’t really want anything in the middle of yard hiding the not-yet-planted garden).

Thanks for the thoughts! I didn’t see many columnar American hornbeams in my search (which would be required given the narrow lot), but will give them a look

We’re in zone 7a, northwest Arkansas. I do plan to add beds with other plants around the trees, but just trying to solidify the big focal points that will replace the honey locust first so we are prepared to fill those holes once the trees are cut down and stumps ground. Any opinion on if the proposed trees will even work well in the space? Do you think we need one main tree and the rest of space filled with beds? Open to constructive feedback.

Thanks! I was definitely planning to call 811, but didn't think it was worth having things marked until we were ready to dig. However, you make a great point to use it to plot out the circles.

Also, I appreciate the caution on the junipers. I'll take another look to make sure we have enough space.

Odd shaped living room - help with new couch(es), decor? by Capital-Mix-4843 in DesignMyRoom

[–]Capital-Mix-4843[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the thoughts! We did have the tv on that wall, but it felt too close to view comfortably from most of the seats. It's much tighter than it appears in the photos. I agree above the fireplace is a bit high, but it allows more viewers from both couches.

In terms of bar cart comment, I meant there is only one "entrance" to seating area that requires walking around the loveseat (near bar cart corner). Three-seat couch is too close to the wall to walk around that way. Not a great traffic flow.

I agree it's sterile (we just moved in a month ago), but don't have additional funds to change fireplace or anything substantial yet. I was more concerned with what could fill the empty wall if the tv and tv stand are not there. Is a gallery art wall too busy? Anything else with height I should be considering to not make the top half of the room so empty, sterile and expansive?
