Landscaping - 6 Unit Multi-family
I own a 6-unit multi-family property in West Texas and am looking to make some changes with the landscaping. The property does not have a sprinkler system, nor do I want to invest the money into one. Water in West Texas is billed on a tiered scale and adding a sprinkler system would take our monthly water bill expense thru the roof.
That said, I'd like to have gravel laid over the existing grass (what little is left anyway). I'm planning to stake down plastic sheeting to prevent grass and weeds from growing up into/throughout the rock. I'll also be using steel landscape edging to prevent rock from transferring on to the sidewalk areas. Once that's done I'll have the gravel company drop off the rock and have hired help spread the rock evenly around the property grounds.
Any tips or insight to make this a smooth and hassle free project??
