How about a rock garden, or some type of flower bed? I'm not sure where you live, but several types of bulbs that bloom at different times of the year. As far as the aeration plugs, could you sweep them or roll the turf? Blessings to you
Thanks for the suggestion!! There will be a rock in there. Flowers are an option also! As far as the cores a lawn sweep might work idk don’t have one but it might work! Rolling them would smash them down like they get now unfortunately unless it was just bone dry which mine doesn’t get because I have irrigation.
Nellie Stevens holly in middle as a focal point. Soft touch hollies in a circle around the the Nellie Stevens. Variegated lioripe circle close to turf edge.
A lot of dwarf evergreen varieties are low/ no maintenance. Burning bush is very pretty in the fall if you want a pop of red in the fall. They are a bit wild looking in the summer, but you can prune them. 3 or 4 Chinese silver grass with some decorative rock would look great there. You just have to cut em back in late winter/ early spring.
There are some evergreen shrubs. No idea what they are called but they are kind spreading and low. I am looking to do a couple dry spots in my lawn and at the same time add interest to my lawn.
That grass is amazing Looks so good! I only wish my mower would let me cut it higher than 4in.. I was thinking you can maybe turn that area into a dog potty or plopping down just some seating with a Webber and putting a portable firepit on top of the old tree stump, that would look cool. Maybe turn it into a gigantic compost pile or Could also store a good amounts of firewood there.
I realize it's nothing like you describe, but I would maybe do a deep red Japanese maple, and a planting of seasonal annuals around. IMO your yard is AMAZING but you are slightly lacking in non green color. Just my 2c
I can totally appreciate this! I am lacking. I just want the beds as low maintenance as possible lol. It’s enough just edging 17,000sqft of them and then trying to control the weeds in them also.
My guy I think a Crape Myrtle would be great! Shallow root system, good height, and beautiful! The stump will rot and the crape’s roots will grow at about the same rate!
I'd go a Japanese red maple or crape myrtle, they aren't to fussy and have a shallow root system so the could deal with the old stump. If you go that route I would plant a small one, like 1 or 2 feet tall, it will take better. Shrubs you couldn't go wrong with a couple of Spireas, they are very hardy and adaptive with many varieties and leave colors to choose from.
The fire pit is a good idea but maybe a big boulder in the center with some nice hydrangeas around it for some color! Also that fescue is on fire!!! It’s been so dry here in Jersey my irrigation can’t even keep up
I honestly think you should go with the classics like Flowering Cherry, Redbud, Dogwood, Crab Apple, Japanese Maple, Little Gem Magnolia, or even a Myrtle but you gonna have to keep it prune every year to a size.
I have definitely thought about a Japanese maple and a Myrtle only issue is obviously those trees are a lot wider than the trunk of the tree that was there and it would block irrigation bad. Japanese maple definitely would. Irrigation head is right beside it.
@@Primetime_Fescue Yeah Myrtle roots run far I noticed that once. I think a Japanese Maple is a top choice. They tend to be low maintenance and shallow roots.
Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar would look great
I believe Crepe myrtles have shallow root system.
They are I believe also very fibrous roots also this could be a possibility to try.
How about some Drift Roses, they only get 1-2 ft tall and they would love the full sun that the area appears to get.
Thanks! I will look into these.

This creates a layered visual design.
Thank you!!
Big boulder like you mentioned surrounded with the grasses you have in the other beds. Would give a consistent theme. Just a thought. 😊
I like it!! Thanks!!

Big Rock in middle with river rock around it....
That’s definitely coming but need more than that lol
A blue chinese wisteria tree, not a vine or bush, but a tree! I have 2 on our property and they look awesome and really pop against the green grass!
Thank you I will look at those!!
I vote for a big flag pole too!
I like this!! Just worried with the stump there I can’t get it centered or actually deep enough in concrete

I'm new to all of this lawn care stuff so I can't give any suggestions, but I do appreciate your videos!
Thanks for watching!!
I think a mix of azalea and holly bushes would look nice. Both are pretty low maintenance.
I will look into this! Thanks!

Dig that tree out more and make it a water feature! Like a pondless waterfall or a fountain
Whatever you put there, please don't tear your yard up... it's a thing of beauty
That’s hopefully not gonna happen lol. I will put plywood down lol
Looks like a great place for a fire pit with a gravel base and some chairs
Only issue it’s a decent distance from the house if it was close I would definitely consider that. Thanks for the suggestion!!!
a putting green or sand trap!!! :)
🤔🤣🤣
Pitcher’s mound. Rubber, rosin bag, rake…go wild.

Thanks for your suggestion! I’m definitely leaning more this direction!!
@ not sure if you have been staying up to date on the Cleetus Channel but god damn does “Eagle” look good! The paint color is incredible
That's a cool place for a Bigfoot statue
Something like Liriope/lily turf would look good. Maybe edge it and throw something in the middle or just do it all over
Thanks for the suggestion!!!
Would azaleas work? Mine bloom twice a year
Looking at those!!
Birdhouse on a pole with English ivy growing in bed and up the pole
I be scared that would creep into the grass honestly maybe it don’t creep like regular ivy idk

Ormental grass would look nice there
I’m thinking about this one!!!
Make it a fire pit or decorative fountain area🤷♂️
Thanks for the suggestion!!
Put up a flagpole with some grass plants around it. Then get yourself a Make America Great Again flag.
This has definitely 100% crossed my mind!!!
That’s what I did. Looks great in the middle of 40,000 sf of tttf.
I wish it was more in the middle vs end of the property lol
Great idea. Same for me when I had a magnolia snap in my side. Flagpole with lights and pow Mia flag
At that point, you could stop taking care of your lawn, let it turn to crap, but still declare it to be the best lawn in the world 🙃
Armstrong gold maple with some tater tot thuja occidentalis..
Thank you!!
