I see a lot of fencing. Which I understand is for privacy, if the fencing is yours have you thought about doing a nice tall hedge instead? I am doing a Privet hedge at my house instead of fence. They can get up to 8' tall. I like looking at a hedge more than a fence. Plus it is cheaper.
Hedges are never cheaper. They requires a shitton of maintenance to keep decent. you cannot let them go. or ignore them. And they take a ton of space if not very carefully maintained.
I just spent 3 weeks clearing all the fucking scrub from my backyard. I gained over 10 foot of yard in some places.

Things like this make me happy I live where I live. We're looking at 15-20 acres for our next house... 10 ft man.

Not that I cared much about the yard depth. Mostly I was noting this as a reason the hedges suck donkey balls.

@JaredBusch More maintenance yes, but I can put up a hedge in my yard cheaper than a fence. I don't need a permit to plant a hedge in my yard....I still like looking at a hedge more than a fence.

Hedges and fences, like I spend any time outside, I don't care.

If I am not working, or learning something new for work. I don't touch technology. I enjoy working in the yard, remolding my house, etc.

I just want a nice yard set up so that I can work on technology in a variety of environments.

We would, actually, like to set something out there up with a projector so that we can do outdoor movies at night.

Yup, I hadn't even thought of doing the Mango Meetups out there. That's a great idea. Although it will be quite some time before we have enough done to make that viable. It needs a LOT of work.

We could get a keg and invite everyone over for a crazy day of backyard renovations, lol.

If there was a fare sale and I had the time, I'd fly down for one, especially if I had a place to sleep. Hotels can be expensive, even when you have a corporate discount.

Yep, I'm not much for design but I can do some heavy lifting. I even have some relatives in the area I could probably crash with.

Yeah that is a really neat and good use of space that otherwise would be wasted.
