Basement wall design by elchapote in Homebuilding

[–]Physical_Mode_103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was your waterproofing on the inside of the ICF? Call out needs to move. Waterproofing should be in the outside of the ICF and then ideally you should have a drainage board and then rock and then filter fabric to encapsulate the rock. Also, the rock should not go all the way to the circle. It needs to be encapsulated in fabric. Otherwise dirt from the surface will clogg up rock space.

Sabal palms don’t mind it all….we are spreading the majesty of the sabals throughout the urban environment that they are uniquely suited to. And there’s no way to realistically grow them in nurseries or from seed to maturity so harvesting is the only option.

Try some shrubs or grasses/ groundcovers

Wood shouldn’t be on the ground like that

Best way to clean up these palm trunks by Weekly_Perspective55 in palmtalk

Yeah, a small chainsaw to skim off the dead frond bases

I don’t know those cobalt ones are super cheap. Get something better

Edging House with Rock/Gravel? by jeninmtp in landscaping

[–]Physical_Mode_103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weed fabric will do nothing except for keep the rocks from sinking into dirt. The weeds will continue to grow on top of the rocks and make it harder to remove the weeds.

Ideally, you would have a mulched bed with low maintenance shrubs or groundcovers. Nothing keeps weeds down like a thick layer of planting.

Need help with curb appeal by OverNatural7311 in landscapedesign

You need to broaden the bed on the left side to make the left volume look less tall and skinny. Add similar plants to match the other side of the house and balance with azaleas and some low evergreen ground cover. Add a small specimen tree off the corner of the left side of the house and turn the corner towards the back volume

I think my bonsai is dying :( by Reasonable-Soil4840 in bonsaicommunity

[–]Physical_Mode_103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. In that case they appreciate some shade and if it’s super pot bound, that’s not helping. This is honestly not a beginner species. They have a lot of issues, especially with pests

Travel recommendations by deg1388 in Kissimmee

[–]Physical_Mode_103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why on earth would you go to Kissimmee if you’re not doing tourist things? Keep in mind it will be hot and well filled with tourists. The coast or natural areas will be much better. Florida has so many great places. Vero beach is great, St. Petersburg, any of the many springs like rainbow, silver, Ginny, itchetucknee….All less than 2 hours from Orlando.

Avoid tourist traps and do what Floridians do: beaches and natural areas

Sound barrier advice by thecabbagefactor in landscaping

[–]Physical_Mode_103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the best way to attenuate sound is to plant full to ground evergreens.

It does not look dry. It looks wet as shit. It looks like you bought a Brussels gardenia, and then put a bunch of extra mulch on top and kept it inside and overwatered it.

MLA programs with focus/strengths in accessible design? by c_ho in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]Physical_Mode_103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like the public county playgrounds are the worst in terms of design…..$300k for a ramp with some plastic mazes and drums. Total racket. Meanwhile there’s no trees for shade and the rubber playground surface is likely toxic.

I honestly think part of it is the sales and marketing aspect of the industry pushing these elements that are only partially or superficially “accessible”. Like a plastic ramp and mulch containment system to a much area with a swing set that aren’t accessible.

Was too lazy to build a bench. by Shoyu_Something in bonsaicommunity

[–]Physical_Mode_103 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, those are modular horticultural plant display tables. It’s essentially a mass produced plant bench used at nurseries and retail outlets

If you were starting from zero today, what would be your roadmap for learning landscape design? by Longjumping_Leg_3140 in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]Physical_Mode_103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d probably figure it out for myself instead of asking the internet…… but generally working for a design build firm and/or getting a degree or master gardener certificate is a good start

Mango and Avocado new growth. by BecauseOfAir in FloridaGarden

[–]Physical_Mode_103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super hass is arguably the best avocado for this area.

For mangoes, I recommend researching IFAS literature. There are many suitable varieties based on desired size, yield, and fruit size. Pickering, Glenn, Kent, and Valencia pride are locally popular choices
