If dog pee kills your grass, it’ll kill my plants! I’ve given up and am converting to rocks. Sad!! Linda, the transformation of your yard is tremendous. Thanks for bringing us along.

Yes its awfully disrespectful. They want even walk with sac to pickup after their dogs in my neighborhood when they suppose to. I've came out of the house on one neighbor with a big Germaine Shephard he didn't know I was there came every close to the middle of my yard when my yard is split like Linda's which someone dog shouldn't be that close to my house. I've been struggling with my lawn for 3 years due to animals doing this now that work from home see the problem. Everything looks wonderful what a transformation. The stepping stones in Linda Lemon Lane are very elegant.
