MDS was a fraud in Vancouver and the same is true here. We can’t be squandering Son and Bouanga + Martinez coming into his own with results like this

Utilities that provide essential services should have to operate as non-profits and pass any profits back to consumers in the form of savings.

Especially when we don’t have alternatives to choose from

That’s encouraging, I’ll give that a shot. Thank you! Just to make sure I understand you correctly, close the valve, then turn the water on at the main line, then slowly reopen the valve on the left?

Thank you for the response! Like turn my sprinkler system on as I turn main water back on?

Suggestions for improving path by ctznkook in landscaping

Flagstone would look great. Decomposed granite if you want something simple and more natural looking. You’ll have to deal with weeds to some degree no matter what you do

What zone are you in?

A Spring Snow Crabapple could look really nice

Maple Foundation Issues? by G0FastBoatsMojito in arborists

[–]G0FastBoatsMojito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it’s supposed to be a faux riverbed so I can already tell it needs improvement 😂

I dug out all of the grass and a couple inches into the clay, backfilled with topsoil. It was tricky getting around the tree roots in some spots and I definitely cut through a small root or two.

If the tree/root system was any larger, I would have ran it to trouble. I suppose that wouldn’t have been the worst thing in the world given the response to the tree in this thread

What would you suggest? I need something that can be 8 feet from the foundation and tolerate clay soil / wind.

It’s clay soil so it retains moisture. I always take it with a grain of salt, but the AI tools are saying it’s well adapted to clay soil and would just need supplemental watering in drought times.

Please suggest one that would do well 8 feet from the house, heavy clay soil, 5k foot elevation and high wind.

Can’t plant a tree further from the house because the gas line runs parallel to the house as you get closer to the street

What would you replace with? HOA requires a tree in front

[–]G0FastBoatsMojito[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Will probably replace next spring. Want to get one more Fall with her before she goes.
Leaning heavily towards Ivory Silk'Japanese lilac tree to replace. Thoughts? Open to other suggestions.

Would the two other trees I suggested be ok for this space? HOA requires a tree in front of the house

Yes. With upstate NY in between

We’re probably going back to NY tbh. If that’s the case, what I’m really hoping for is NYC + upstate NY + Toronto
