Energy-Jason Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 A Cool and easy one. We planted some fast growing trees to keep the afternoon sun off the windows. Sincerely Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___ Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Previous owner did the same at my place. It works really well, but the shade is killing my lawn :-) Energy-Jason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

___ Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 In my case, yes. Makes a mighty mess when the leaves drop each autumn. I also discovered it isn't the shade that is killing the lawn. It's sucking up all the water! That is what is killing the lawn. Also, I've had to move the television satellite dish because the trees started to block the signal. I'm not quite sure what to do about these trees now. They are nice and tall, break the wind, provide shade in summer... but the roots are going everywhere, suck up all the water, kills the lawn (what remained of it after the drought had a go at it). I can't pave the area because of the roots, can't put in fake lawn... I'll have to rip out the trees. But I kinda like the trees... :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNodashi Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 just don't plant them where they'll affect your PV array Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
