Yes amazingly so pools aren't too much work so long as you keep on top of regular maintenance.
Our neighbors have big trees which lose a lot of leaves and…

We have a mineral pool and I can highly recommend it. Just think of it as like swimming in fresh water. No aftersmell or burning of eyes.
We have all waterco…

The pic is not a magnolia.
There are various varieties of magnolias available. For example, we have the magnolia teddy bear, which is a lot smaller and compact.

Are they risers to indicate surface storm water points? If so you just need to cut them down and attach a grate.

Mine looked sad in the first year given they were in pots for a while and then planted while it was hot. They had similar symptoms as yours.
A positive sign…

You can get the buxus domes substantially cheaper at plant wholesalers if you are considering them. I have 18 of them scattered throughout our garden and paid $50 each.

All irrigation requires maintenance but subsurface irrigation is another level, to the point where it can't be repaired without virtually destroying your lawn.

I invested a lot of money in subsurface irrigation for the lawn at my prior house. The system ended up getting leaks etc to the point where I stopped using…

We just told our builder that we were placing the pool (fibreglass) near the house and they reinforced the slab accordingly.
As for the pipes, they will just run to wherever…

Summer pruning is okay but try to do it on a cloudy day as the leaves can burn.

Have you been regularly pruning the plants? Regular pruning of new growth ensure that plant bushes out and forms a dense hedge.

How about a sasanqua camellia?
With flowers from late summer to winter, sasanqua camellias make a long impact on the garden. Their flowers, which may be white, pink or red and…

We spent around 140k including an inground pool. Landscaping can be very expensive and from what I can see your quote looks reasonable.

There are many varieties available. They are deciduous though. We have a combination of evergreen and deciduous trees to complement each other. The crabapple we have a ioenis plena.
We also…

Crepe Myrtle bloom in summer and crabapple and weeping cherry in the spring. Camellias can also grow large and different types flower and varying times throughout the year.

It's really a matter of judgement. The rule with developing hedges is little but frequent pruning. That might have you pruning quite a number of times over the growing season…

A winter prune may not be needed unless you are in a warm area. Any new growth in a cold area could get damaged. I would stick to the growing…

Tip prune a few cm off each end this will make the single branch split into two branches and is what makes the full, bushy look.

I tip pruned my frequently in the beginning (every few months during the growing season) to encourage bushy growth. It is also important to fertilise at the time of pruning.…

In summer three times per week with a dropper about 60 mins each time

We also have teddy bears which now have been in the ground for over 12 months. Ours receive direct afternoon sun and also have leave discolour similar to yours. I…

Start by look for the box that contains the solenoids. The pipes will run underground from that point.

I was thinking that the irrigation might not be getting full coverage but if it has been raining that's not an issue.

Are you using irrigation or hand watering?

What about pleached pyrus chanticleer? They have a shallow root system and are easy to manage. I am pleaching some at the moment. The complete process takes around 4 years.
You…

Love the fruit trees. You should try doing some espalier with them; it looks neat, saves space and increases productivity.
We are espaliering pear, lemons and camellias.

Does that side of the house get much sun?
Why don't you install two posts and run marine wire between them. Train some star jasmine or another climber. That way you…
