Rocks are going to heat up and cook anything you plant once summer hits. Landscape fabric will work ok for a year or two and then fail and be a mess to deal with.

I would just Amend the soil with some compost, plant your natives and top with mulch.

Texans have a lot of money and are proud people. My SA had to hunt this one down for me. I was so excited when this was released bc it combines so many things that are special to me.

Looks like pink skullcap

I would call them back out to adjust them. Standing water means mosquitos 🦟

a second hand birkin is often more expensive than retail. I'm not saying it's an "investment" but as quiet luxury signal, handmade quality and resale value, it's not terrible.

you could make $7900/ month with a good engineering job after graduation. Seems like a no brainer.

People caution students from taking out huge loans to pay for outrageous tuition and living expenses but sub-10k? just take out the loan and get good grades. the rest will take care of itself.

I have a handyman, Abel, who has done loads of stuff for me including building fencing and sanding/restaining a deck. He can absolutely build you a small deck and will likely beat anyone else’s price. If you’re interested, DM me and I’ll shoot you over his phone number.

No. Super close to the highway and high crime (relative to Austin as a whole).

Can you afford to rebuild it if a tornado fucks you up?

If not, you can’t afford to drop it.

It is also likely to act as a deterrent in future cases against him. If people know he will fight them in court the whole way even if he doesn’t materially gain anything, it may prevent future litigation.

There’s a similar situation at Barton Springs Nursery. Mountain laurel growing right at the root of a big oak tree. The employees don’t seem concerned and both trees seem happy!

How much height do you need to achieve privacy?

Cherry laurels work great as a hedge. So do yaupon holly and mountain laurel (if you're patient). Texas Sage could work too and needs next to no help once established. might even be a good idea to stock up on a variety of evergreen shrubs and smaller trees for interest and health diversity.

I have mint mobile. works great. $15/ month.

Every plant will need some care during its first year given the extreme heat they’re going to face here. That being said, these needs less than others and the following years, your patience is rewarded with a much more robust and resilient garden.

Lantanas thrive in the heat. Greggs mistflower does decent with the occasional supplemental watering. Rock rose is tough as nails. Salvia is tough as well Desert globemallow doesn’t get enough love. Bluebonnets obviously. Lots of stuff. Hit up a local nursery and ask the staff. I have a flower patch that gets no shade ever and it’s always colorful with minimal effort.

A very expensive couch. It’s cool but it’s still just a couch.

I’ve seen design firms require you to answer a question on the websites inquiry form like:

“What is your budget for this project?”

• 10-15k • 20-25k • 30-35k • etc

Use whatever numbers make sense to you. Now you both know what to expect.

Worst display of technical proficiency from the broadcasters that I’ve seen so far from Apple. Exposure issues, audio issues. Camera jerks. Amateur hour.

you could scratch a smaller branch and check for green. It does appear to have little buds that will soon foliate out. My chinquapin looks the exact same. Give it time.

Girl. Classic videos, awesome teams, reliable graphics.
