    Compost Container

    Easiest if possible is to store in the freezer and then dump it into the compost bin for trash day.

    In general GP has a higher square footage per footprint, like the 3 story homes.

    Orchard Hills - Pesticides

    It’s been a few years, are you still seeing this happening? Looking at the update on the petition a few pages back and looks like they have switched to an organic landscaper.

    Backyard Landscape Plans and Recommendations

    Definitely to an extent! We did have a specific design in mind prior to engaging a landscaper so it was nice to know what definitely wouldn?t fly with HOA and what we could squeeze in after inspection, as well as specific design details like inlaid tile in the water feature.

    Something else to mention, he?s very familiar with the various HOA design regulations, documentation and even delivered it to their office. He guaranteed that his submissions don?t get rejected which was true for us. So definitely time and effort saved and out towards making design choices.

    Is it too soon if I mention the landscaper who ended up taking over this thread? 😅 I used him last year, didn?t think to search here first and almost glad I didn?t because I had a good experience. Yes some of the things about working relationship were true for me, but what was more important...

    :o There?s still Forza and Marea which have even higher elevation views, what?s the premium going to be for those?

    Great Park - Solis Park

    Not for me personally, IUSD quality is over rated! Lake Forest schools seem so far and few in between from when I was looking around Baker Ranch/Serrano Summit and in the opposite direction from most stores.

    Great Park - Solis Park

    Stopped by the Pulte homes sales office, possible prison breaks aside I was told this will be the last GP neighborhood that will be part of IUSD, the neighborhood after will be Lake Forest. It?s also located right in between Solis park elementary and Portola HS and walkable which is super...

    New communities in Portola Springs

    Ok so he did a quick review and it looks like the park has a pool, spa, kiddie pool, playground(s), and the two tennis courts as previously mentioned. Entrance through a public road (whispering hills?) and there are parking lots. Exciting to see as the Highland Park pool is often jam packed.

    Patio covering options for view lot

    This is great, i haven?t come across cantilevered covers aside from the base but having the option to add support on one side for stability would be even better. Thanks!

    Lennar "The Farm" Master Planned Community in San Juan Capistrano

    I used to live less than a mile from this development and remember when it was being proposed to the city. The land used to belong to Armstrong nursery which still maintains a smaller property next door. There was a lot of pushback to get it approved indicative of a tension between those who?ve...

    Patio covering options for view lot

    I?m on a south facing view lot that gets a lot of sun. I?ve looked into slatted pergolas, roof tile and solar coverings but I don?t like that they cut off the top sky portion of the view. There are pergolas with retractable shades but there is still a horizontal bar on the top frame, and I can?t...

    New build purchase: Should I directly go to talk with builder's agent or...?

    It?s only worth going with an agent if it?s your first time buying and find a trustworthy broker who provides the benefit of walking you through the process, or if there is a sizeable broker rebate. Another benefit of a broker who?s very familiar with new builds is that they may be aware of...
