Some people have all the luck. When this Greenwood Heights resident moved into her two-family house back in 2005, the back yard consisted of “a mess of concrete and brick featuring a giant dog house and what was advertised as a koi pond (essentially a hole in the ground, lined and filled with water and some goldfish).” After having some workers break up the concrete, she was starting from scratch. After getting one estimate of $35,000 to create the garden she wanted, she had to get more creative. This included applying to be the subject of a HGTV show called Urban Outsiders. After a five-month selection process, she got the thumbs-up. She had to pony up the $7,000 for materials but HGTV provided the labor and know-how. The result? Well, a picture’s worth a thousand words.

hey Dave, you lookin’ for any new associates? What strategy do you guys have? hopefully not fixed income! 🙂
When i did my deck the design originally had the steps going to the side, but the rise of the steps would have been too steep to work out.
Fun to rile people up here…its soooo easy!!!
“1:32 Not going to get into a pissing contest as to who gets more at home. Did you find his website? Now get back to work.”
Who’s pissing? YOU mentioned porn, I mentioned home. Why do you have a problem with that? I didn’t look AT or FOR his site. I simply called the number you gave me and spoke with a human. Finally, when I start working for you (as in never), I’ll let you tell me when to work. Thanks again for the info.
Only on Brownstoner could a pleasant discussion on gardens turn into an argument over who can view more porn at work and who gets more action at home. No wonder I love this blog!
Hey Owner –
This looks great, my yard is so similar witrh a large tree exactly where yours is. Are you concerned about the roots messing things up in a few years?
Is the deck removable?

Hey Dave, 1:15 here. You guys have it pretty good! I’m a manager at a PR outfit and although I could surf porn if I really wanted to, however we have a few (very nice) young ladies working here and I have to be careful to avoid any apearance of impropriety. But that’s OK. I get plenty at home.
I’m at work too….5 man hedge fund shop…we can even surf porn on our computers if we want to…no HR department!!!!
