Against the advice of a few people that meant well I went with grass. This will mean more upkeep and water but but a gravel yard just does not get it for me. This is Bermuda grass and I got it through the vivero (nursery guy) near the Jaluco intersection on the way to Barra. Also got two lime trees from him.
I ordered 50 meters and sent some home with one of my workers. Price for the pasto (lawn) was 35 pesos a square meter. I think I overworked placing and cutting and didn't drink enough water so stayed in bed 'till noon today.
Still have almost half the property unplanned except for a few trees and plants. Think it will just sit while I finish the house. Hugo started painting grout joints with sealer today and I'll join him tomorrow.
It looks good. I was within a block of your house this afternoon. I should have taken a quick peek.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Have you thought about putting in a sprinkler system? We brought a bunch of parts down (which we won't need anymore since we got rid of our grass).
ReplyDeleteI'll talk to you the next time I see you Elke to see what you have.
ReplyDeleteHad a big sink hole yesterday because the grey water septic was only surrounded by dirt and it should have been rocks/gravel. Water goes in as well as out. Just hope the septic did not fill with dirt.
