As planned, the rest of the sod was laid yesterday and the bench that helps separate the concrete portion from the rest of the yard–and will provide a place to perch during barbecues–was constructed. There are probably a few finishing touches for the Jonathan and Ryan to do (we haven’t had time to do a “walk-through” yet) but from here on in, the rest of the work, i.e. the planting, is ours. If anyone’s interested in our crew’s services, you can reach Jonathan Yevin at 917-692-2054.

I believe putting the fence posts on the outside of your fence is a violation. If either neighbor complains and/or calls DOB you will have to take the fence down and redo it.
Puleese don’t plant Morning Glory. I know it is cheap easy to grow, but it is a highly invasive exotic, and once you put one seed in your yard, you will never be able to get rid of it, and neither will any of the future generations, or your neighbors.
Try something like Clematis, which might cost a few $ but stays where you plant it and flowers beautifully.
yes, butterfly bush is nice. but i still think an arbor with perhaps wisteria or morning glory growing up.
low maintenance and so pretty.
i had one done in my yard and a privacy fence. it made all the difference. look into it and see if you like it.
very nice. not 100% about the square in the middle of the lawn…visually makes everything look smaller…but thats just me…you need a tree or two…

It looks terrific! How lovely for your sod that we got that downpour last night.
Did we get a cost estimation…? PLEASE, I’m on the fence of paying for someone to help me do my yard, or gettin’ down and dirty myself. Come on B’stoner.. tell us how much!!!
Congratulations, Brownstoner. It looks great. You are going to have a wonderful summer out there.
Have I missed any posted solutions on what to do about these vicious Asian Tiger mosquitos looming in our future?
What exactly are your plans for the blue stone patio in the middle of the lawn? Will you put a table and chairs there? And what are the dimensions of the concrete area?
