  • Do you mean the slope of the lot? If so, yes, it's a walk-out basement so it's quite a slope.

    • yes the lot, we call it a block
      Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

      Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

      • AH's concerns are valid... with heavy rains / snow thawing, the gravel will wash downslope and be a general PITA.

        • My parents have a walkout with a similar lot and have never had a problem, also with rundlestone.

          Very little snow/rain accumulates between the houses -- especially right up against the foundation which is protected by overhangs.

            • You've done a good job with a tiny space. A bit more paving stones than I'd want but it does make the most of what space is available.

                • Yeah, we split the cost.

                    • What type of pine is that in the backyard? I know some pine trees get rather bushy as they grow and end up taken over small planters. Also, in the front yard, is that tree with the drooping branches just in shock or is it supposed to look like that?

                        The backyard tree is a Colorado Blue Spruce.

                        The tree with the drooping branches in the front is a Royal Beauty Weeping Crabapple. It's supposed to look like that. It'll start growing wider soon, though.

                        • Shaping up nicely, Asher.

                          But I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the Royal Beauty Weeping Crabapple is a totally gay tree.

                              • That's a lot of flowers on that crabapple tree. The bees will no doubt thank you.

                                BTW I have paving stones in my patio too but I'm always spraying round up to kill the weeds which pop up between the paving stones then hand pulling the dead weeds out. Is there some trick the pavers use to stop this or is it, as I suspect, just the required maintenance? I have sand between the paving stones and it looks like you do too.
