Frogs and Ivy
When it comes to outdoor renovations, extensive maintenance and unforeseen expenses are what usually leads to regret. For example, a koi pond is a lovely element in your garden, but it requires a lot of hours to maintain and they tend to attract frogs. Another green feature Dominguez sees as regret for some is climbing ivy.
Sure, it’s charming and ever so quaint when it’s creeping up a stone exterior, but people on the east coast will be the first to tell you ivy is a pain in the butt because it’s invasive. ‘It will require a lot of maintenance, not to mention that it may cause structural damage over time,’ he says.
