    IDK Laura & Aaron, perhaps in the play area, you can install some temporary posts and strategically place some shade sails until the trees start to get some size and natural shade capability. Shade sails come in so many sizes, shade strength and colors that they can mostly just blend into the surroundings without being too much of an eyesore. You would really only need them In place during the hottest part of the year. They are pretty simple to string up and take down and just needs to block that fun killing afternoon sun. I would think if you had a couple of large shade trees installed, the play area would have enough shade in a couple of years that you wouldn't need the shade cloth after that. But it would allow the children to enjoy the area for more of the summer.

    • @katiedavis5861
      @katiedavis5861 3 месяца назад +1

      That would be nice to see because I have had terrible luck with sails in our area. We get really strong winds and having wide open spaces the wind really gets with it. If there's a way to make it more secure I am sure Laura would figure it out! ❤

    Living the dream. So many beautiful spaces to enjoy everyday. The kids will have many years of fun in their play area,keeping in mind as they grow they will have the huge basketball court/ tennis court. Then there's the pond to just relax around. Not to mention all the garden areas with seating an your patio areas to have early morning coffee. Time flies by,all those trees will be huge in just a short time. Enjoy everyday. Your hard work and knowledge of gardening is amazing. May your channel continues to grow, for it's the best one on YT. You're my inspiration to get out an add to my landscape.

    We have had rubber mulch for 5 years. It does NOT get hot on sunny days. It's magic. Lol. Best thing we did. We haven't had to add a single bag. Besides it being all around the house, we have a huge sloped hill that's about 130x25. Doesn't fall/slide with rain or wind. Still the exact same color. Shouldn't start fading for another 7+years. It's made of old tires and other rubbers that can't get recycled or put in land fills. It's comfortable on your bare feet and on your knees if you forget to pull out GA's knee pad.

    In my area some of the townships have created playground areas for young children. They installed the playground equipment, but do not plant any trees. When the weather is nice during the day, with cool temperatures, you'll see mothers bring their young children there to play on the slides, swings, etc. Once the temperature increases you never see anyone there for the entire summer. The playground equipment gets so scalding hot that they can't use it. I'm so glad you will be installing trees! Keep in mind the tube slide could get very hot even now. 🌿🌸🌿 🛝

You could build a brick or paver patio in-between the playground and basketball court to tie the two areas together, add a pergola for shade (new home for the wisteria?), and seating. Perhaps Paul could build some lidded storage benches to hold the basketballs, lidded benches with drop-in space for a cooler of cold drinks, and an enclosed space to hide a garbage can??

    This video brings back fond memories of pockets full of rubber mulch my littles brought home from the playground 😅
    Laura and Aaron, I appreciate your example of how to raise unspoiled children with material privilege. Lots of time, love, gentle correction, and modeling hard work and generosity.

      The rubber mulch is toxic and will create health problems for the children. Should have stuck to wood chip.

    On your new tree line, when you start planting shrubs and small trees I bet a big purple smoke bush would look fabulous. Some of the new ones are small enough to fit in a bed but the older ones get beastly in size which would be perfect for that spot.
    That bobcat is an absolute blessing. You are putting it through it’s paces!

    Love the playset area! Laura and Aaron, maybe you could do the berry field in the other side (instead of dahlia!). Move all your strawberries, rasberries, grapes, blueberries ect! And where you have your rasberries now, you could extend what you already have in that area with the paths and larger tree :). Just an idea but i think it would be awsome hihi! :). It would also clear more soace in the cut flower garden where you want to add the strawberry beds to put more perrenials or veggies if needed!

    Gosh you two! As I was watching the first sequence, I had to pause and come to the comments. I had a flash forward to Benjamin and Aaron sitting up there with their legs dangling off the edge to the climbing wall. Benjamin is about to graduate high school and is nervous so he came out to the old play set to think. And Dad comes out to hang with him and have grown up guy talk. Oh my heart!!!

    I wish our neighbors were as considerate as you guys. They put out a huge primary colored play set next to the our property line (we’re all on large acreage ) and it’s not attractive….but it is good to see their kids out playing because they never come outside. Being metal I’m sure in 5 yrs it will be rusted out with no child in sight.

      They lose interest when they turn about 9 or 10 so it will probably be sold then. Most people don’t keep them at that age because the kids move on

    The playset is great. The kids will have wonderful years of fun using it. The new trees are beautiful. It is all coming together nicely. The basketball/tennis court is going to be so useful too. As the kids grow older they will use that even more. Wow you are so blessed, and you have worked so hard so enjoy. Thank you for sharing with us. I have started my day with Garden Answer so long I wouldn't know what to do without your smiling face and pleasant voice bringing me inspiration and joy. Have a blessed day everyone.

    Could you use that small concrete area next to the playground as a patio? Add an outdoor rug, a few planters and a couple of chairs, and you’d have a nice area to sit and watch the kids while they’re playing!

    Your energy is incredible, Laura! I'm your mom's age and remember when I used to go and go (still do for someone my age, but...). Can you give us some info about the playset? It's fabulous and would be worthy of a neighborhood park (like the one behind my house that needs a new playset after 33 years of the one the builder put in). That has a platform and activity for all ages, it seems! Great choice! And I love the picnic table idea some here suggested.
