Dear PoP – Backyard Landscaping Recs

“Dear PoP,

My husband owned his house before I moved into it two years ago and in the four years we’ve been together I have been in the backyard a total of 1 time and that’s because one of my cats slipped out there. It’s a very small space (the size of a bedroom maybe) but it could be a nice little spot for a morning coffee or an evening beer with a little bit of spitshine.

I’ve asked him to lay down some pavers but, it’s four years now, I have to accept it ain’t happening. LOL! Do you and your readers have any suggestions for a landscaper that can help us improve our backyard space?

P.S. I lean toward pavers because I have never seen a blade of grass out there (I do stare longingly at the yard from time to time even tho I refuse to step foot out there) and he says he thinks that the person who renovated buried some material under the earth back there or something as grass just doesn’t seem to take root and grow.”

I’m also curious how much you think it would cost to have a landscaper set pavers?

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
