So we’ve decided to fix our front yard too, so that people don’t look up at our ugly solar panels, lol. Getting quotes on concrete and wall work. I originally wanted to enclose the yard with a 6foot wall, for some nice private area, but have been warned that the over-zealous Huntington Beach gubermint won’t approve any such eyesore.  Have also been warned that we need to keep a 60-40% hardscape-to-softscape ratio.
