  1. I'm not sure how 811 utility finder works in all places, but be aware that in some areas they only locate utilities to your property line from the street. They may not come onto your property which is where you need the information if you are building a project! I live in Kennewick, WA and the utilities companies would only mark the utilities up to my property line. My project was inside my property quite a ways as my house is at the back of a one acre lot! So 811 was basically useless for me! They told me that I would have to hire a private company to come and locate within my property line!! I was on a tight budget and couldn't afford the private company fees so I ended up just winging it and just digging VERY, VERY carefully!

  2. An English style garden 🤣 a semi cottage style planting scheme with a formal, reneaissance'esk design is certainly not English. You've literally just combined two different garden style elements and named it "English"

  3. Never plant foxglove near your herbs. That’s asking for trouble. Also this isn’t an English garden

  4. I know a lot of people don't like it, but mint actually makes a very good filler, as long as you keep it controlled, though it will die during winter, so be prepared to have a clean bed or have something else ready during that time

  5. Anybody actually priced this out recently?

    There's roughly $1000 worth of bagged soil there alone.

    A $20,000 garden?

    That's cool.

  6. Never seen a fence in English gardens; but rather hedges…perhaps boxwood would have been more appropriate.

  7. This is French minus all those bricks…it should be European ewe/ boxwood hedges and walkways are pea gravel.
    Obviously this means more money for Lowes to do it this way using a HELL of ALOT more materials but the title is misleading AF

  8. Actually, if you look into the history of well manicured gardens (1500's-1600's) it was the Italians who initially started this style of garden that today they get no credit for. The French was in to copy the style and make it popular and then the English. The only reason Americans believe this style is English is because of our association up to the civil war. However, historically the Italians are the creators of this style of garden.

  9. With the inflation going wild, this garden can very well carry a price tag of $20,000 plus.

    And, ask any real English man if that's a typical English garden. I think NOT.

    English garden is essentially going with the flow, no rule no forms.

  10. I'm American living in England. This is more an italian or some other formal garden (which can also be found in grander English Manor Houses). This isn't near loose enough for an english garden.
