You don't happen to have a really small pool do you?

Is that a statue/bird bath of a youth bowler? I can't tell what's going on there. And I don't find the tiny pool that funny. I think those folks got it figured out. Yea, they might not have an acre, or even a half an acre, but damnit they got a lil pool and that's worth something on a hot a steamy day like today. Got a nice lil cover for it, too.
You should see this monstrosity of a waterfall/creak thing this house built near my neck of the woods. It's unreal. I don't know why they did it. They must have hit the lotto because they did a lot of renovations and made this big fake waterfall/creek thing which never ever works, and now the house is up for sale...

That rock pile thing on the left. It's uniquely ugly af...kind of like the house.
How the hell do you get to the front door? I don't see any steps leading up to that porch that is 12 ft off the ground.Is that a statue/bird bath of a youth bowler?

I wouldn't call any of that "great."Wife and I bought a new place and will be moving in August. Has a great backyard, patio and deck.
You're off to a rocking start on day 1!I wouldn't call any of that "great."
I'm just shitting you. That's a nice place.You're off to a rocking start on day 1!
All about busting chops on here...it's all good.I'm just shitting you. That's a nice place.
Wife and I bought a new place and will be moving in August. Has a great backyard, patio and deck. The deck is about 36 inches off the ground and right now, they just have weeds underneath it. I'm looking at getting rid of the leaves, putting a barrier down and rock on top of that and maybe a small landscape bed around the perimeter. Any other suggestions? You can kind of see the deck in this picture (best one I have right now).

That's fancy.
I'm kinda partial to fenced-in areas myself.In Florida, a "lanai" is just a fancy word for screened in back porch.
Put in a couple of red maples this spring (about 10' tall) and the leaves always look wilted. Where I planted them is ****** soil (clay). Anything I can do at this point to help them along?
Those are pretty big trees to start. I'd bet watering is the issue.
They need at least one good deep watering per week, preferably two. Surface sprinklers won't come close to getting the job done, especially in this weather.
A slow flow from your hose for a few hours will work. If that's too much of a pain, you can use 5 gallon buckets with 3-5 small holes drilled in the bottom and refill them every couple of days.
It's a pain, and the buckets don't look great in the yard, but trees need it during the first year. Other species might need it for two years, but yours are maples. Once they're rooted in, they'll start growing like crazy regardless of what you do.
