This is the guy I called. Dwayne. Was probably half the price and came the same day.
Really wish I had this two weeks ago.

I think they look really nice. Kind of wish everybody had them.

Speaking of concrete, can someone recommmend a company to pour exposed aggregate? I want to fill the small strip 1mx4m of space between my neighbour's front yard and my driveway. I currently have gravel, but would like to have concrete and leave two circles to plant small trees or shrubs.
Thanks

Not sure you are allowed to pave that. Might want to check with the city first, or you may pay twice. Once to do it, again to tear it out. When I wanted to widen my driveway 3ft, onto my own property(not towards the neighbour) they wouldn't let me do asphalt or concrete. Only non permanent, like brick.

Anyone know where to get a decent lawn fungicide that treats Dollar Spot? Scotts has one but they don't sell it in Canada.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Scotts-Law...ol-5m/16880615




I've tried googling and searching all the main home stores' sites, and no one has any of the various fungicide classes that deal with Dollar Spot. Seems like Canada has gone soft!

Page 2 of the above has the various chemical and trade names of the Fungicides that deal with it

Got my top soil down yesterday, next step is to get a skid steer in to dig my fence post holes and set them, then sprinklers, then sod.. then I will finish the fence.

Just curious, we have a lot of weeds around the edges of our yard, how long do you figure a guy has till the weeds start taking over the topsoil? Should I be spraying it and/or the edges with anything to help keep things at bay? Hoping to wrap everything up within the next few weeks.

All of a sudden this afternoon, thousands of flying ants have swarmed our home garden.

I read they will not harm the plants etc; but extremely annoying that we can't go into the backyard or deck.

Any help someone could suggest to get rid of them faster?

Firgured this was the appropriate thread for this;

I had this chunk of live edge fir in the wood pile and decided to make a squirrel feeder. I got the rounded ends by dropping the table incrementally on my trusty Makita skill saw. then some chisel work and a mouse sander. drainage holes were added also.

We're becoming good back yard buddies, some people don't like these little fellars. Nothing better than relaxing with a beer watching this guy enjoy a massive pay day!! In the spring and summer he pulls up a seat and pigs out. In the fall he's all about hiding food for the winter.
