鲍勃住在梅尔罗斯，在那里，无缝铝制排水沟被挤出并安装，使水流向房子的前部，并通过雨水排水管排出。挪威云杉的枝干可以给树带来空气和阳光，使它在风雪中更加坚固。在前院，重点是低维护的景观美化，包括将覆盖地面的pachysandra，冬青，杜鹃花，春季球茎和红色的日本枫。在后院，低维护的解决方案包括回收的花岗岩台阶，用于园艺、玩具和工具的内置棚屋，以及一个支持石头挡土墙、植物和白雪松栅栏的田石和豌豆石露台。鲍勃学会了用耐用的橡胶除草剂来控制围栏下面和周围的无农药杂草，并对舌形凹槽和格子顶大门的工艺感到钦佩。最后的户外触感是多股柔软的人造草，它被安装在一个郁郁葱葱、无需维护的侧院里。鲍勃向我们展示了狭小的后门已经被三层滑块所取代，杂乱的储藏室已经变成了一个有组织的食品储藏室，里面有柜台、储藏室、回收室，还有放零食袋、餐具和午餐用具的抽屉。

搬到后院，后院的硬景观材料发生了变化。使用天然平坦的田野石头，因为有放松的感觉。当园林设计师到达时，后院松动的挡土墙已经到位，他们想保留那种轻松的外观。功能区的形状由坡度来定义。田野里的石头铺在石粉里，没有混凝土，上面铺着豌豆石。豌豆石是一种天然的银行混合物，没有被碾碎，具有该地区所有的自然颜色。后院的所有植物都来自蒙罗维亚，这是该国当地苗圃最大的植物供应商之一，他们种植了一些非常专业的植物。露丝·福斯特在这个季节的早些时候在后院，协调花朵的颜色与周围的硬景观和景观。雪松栅栏将风化成银灰色，这将为季节性的颜色和花朵提供柔和的背景。在后院花园的另一边，沿着围栏的外围安装了杂草封条，以控制沿围栏线和栅栏柱周围的杂草。 Bob talks with Jack Schreiner of Bruckman Rubber about the product. It was originally developed on the recommendation of the Department of Environmental Quality of Nebraska who suggested developing products made from scrap tires. Weed Seal uses about 50 percent scrap tire and 50 percent virgin rubber material with fiber reinforcement. The product is heavy, which keeps it from blowing up or away. The seal prevents weeds from growing along the fence, which eliminates the need to use herbicides or pesticides to control weed growth along the fence. Post protectors are designed to fit around the fence posts. The material is rugged and able to withstand weather and nicks from lawnmowers and trimmers. Bob talks with Greg Goehner of New Grass. Because of the amount of shade in the backyard and the two young boys in the house, the homeowners could never grow a healthy lawn. The synthetic grass being installed features two different types of blades. There is a soft monofilament and a twisted fiber that adds a little cushioning to the grass. It's soft, durable, and doesn't require any mowing. The fibers are made of polyethylene and backing is made of polyurethane. NewGrass also has a protective U.V. coating to prevent fading or decomposition. Water filters through the turf at a rate of 30 gallons per hour. The NewGrass is laid out and cut to shape with one seam that is barely visible once the fibers have been brushed and lifted. The perimeter is staked to the ground and the fibers are broomed up. NewGrass lasts 10 years or more and comes with a warranty. It costs about $4.99 per square foot.
