Garden Makeover in Carroll Gardens

Here’s a homegrown story with a happy ending. A reader whose yard looked like the before shot (at right) complete with pool, when he purchased it wanted a slightly different look so he turned to Chuck Dorr of Dig Gardens on Atlantic Avenue, whom he found on a Brownstoner thread. “I already can see the angry posts about ‘why on earth did you ruin the nice pool and put in a damn garden!’,” writes the reader, “but I can handle it.”
Dave, is there a law solid fences can be only 6 feet high? How much do you think it costs to install one in the average townhouse backyard — about $3000 or can it be done for less?
Lovely – without a pool.
Our house had an above-ground pool when we made an offer, and that was our only condition for the closing – get that eye-sore outta there (which the RE agent paid for with his own money to make the sale).
I love a happy ending!
Go on…tell them. Chuck is good but not cheap.
How much did all that cost?
it’s gorgeous the new version, but im gonna have to go with a +1 for the pool version.

A big improvement over the former – and reminds me of one of my former gardens (http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1010025aut.jpg)
Mine didn’t cost much to do apart from the summer house but it did involve about a month of evenings of sieving the soil!
We are thinking about doing our back yard…how much did it cost?
I’ve had my pool for 16 years & never had any dead animals in it (nor live ones.)
