Where can I get ideas for my backyard. It's a side yard access and I already have two indoor places to park cars so I want to use what's left to put grass and all that gay shit. But I don't just want all grass I need some other shit to make it look balanced. Anyone into that stuff that can add ideas?
Thanks

Start watching the DIY network. It will give you all kinds of ideas. Fire pits, decks, fountains... Etc. Each time my wife watches, it just adds to my chore list. Be prepared!!

Looks very well cleaned up.
Quick question though.
Did you need some type of permission to cut that pine tree down?I live in sacramento and have one in my front yard that makes a mess on my drive way and cars.I want to take it down but i dont know if i need to let the city know.

The only tree you have to ask the city permission to cut down is an oak tree, other then that, cut em down if you please when its on your property.

Depends on the city. Pleasanton, where I live, won't let you cut a tree down if it is a heratige tree. I have one tree in my front yard I don't want and they won't let me get rid of it. And it isn't an oak.

Pine trees are usually not regulated. I'm having a 50ft pine tree cut down in my back yard tomorrow. Then I'm replacing the rail road tie steps and walls with masonry. Sod in fall. Now that I sold my race car I mod my house.

I'm only talking about in Sacramento you have to have permission to cut down an oak tree but a way to get around the tree in your front yard is to tell them the potential damage to your foundation on your home then maybe they will let it slide
