Natural Kudzu Removal in Buckhead and throughout Atlanta – The Secret is in the Sheep!
Posted in Buckhead, Home Maintenance on May 7, 2013
My son and I recently drove through Buckhead and saw an unusual site – a small herd of sheep and goats grazing along in a private yard on Ridgewood. We were both enthralled and pulled over to see what was going on!
A small herd of sheep and goats on Ridgewood Drive in Buckhead! They hired the herd to eat all the ivy off of the 2 acres. It was so cool.
This yard had about two acres of overgrowth to clear, and the folks at EWE-niversally Greeen were called in rather than using harsh chemicals. The flock of sheep and goats, along with a couple of very proective sheep dogs spent a couple of weeks at the Ridgwood home. Protected by the temporary fencing and daily visits from the herder himself, the sheep and goats were left to do what they do best – eat!
My son is holding a baby that was born 6 hours before he held him. We are going to have to move to a farm sometime soon. I want that baby lamb he’s holding.
Dogs come with the sheep to protect them from coyotes. The dogs are NOT friendly they are there to protect the sheep, so beware. Also I found out that coyotes have a hard time seeing black sheep and goats.
EWE-niversally Green was featured in an article in the AJC – read it by clicking here.
Also, their website posts some pretty dramatic before and after photos like these:
Before the herd arrived – a private backyard in Atlanta.
And the after shot – wow! No green remains!

With so many special rooms in this house to experience, the current owners wanted to make sure accessibility was never a problem…..meaning there’s an elevator that accesses all three levels. One of the best rooms to find while using the elevator is the interior family room – kind of like a sitting room for the private areas of the house. This room is located on the 3rd level in the middle of all of the family bedrooms. In the past, this room was used for middle-of-the night feedings, and also includes a refrigerator and sink for drinks or a coffee bar.
An elevator! Now we’ve seen everything!
Barrel vaulted ceilings are unique and fun to look at – and especially cool in a master bedroom. Click on the image for additional photos and more information about this home for sale.

Closer to home, you’re just a stroll away from Oakdale Park, and less than a mile away to One Ivy Walk – home of many great restaurants and boutiques.

Solid Wood Garage Doors Add Appeal and Value to Your Home
Posted in Home Amenities, Preparing Your Home For Sale on April 5, 2013
I have had people ask me over the years about my garage doors. I have solid wood carriage style doors and I believe from the feedback I get that they make a real impact on a home.
(I really dislike when the doors face the front of the house, but unfortunately mine do, there really isn’t a reason why as I have a wide lot which could accomodate side entry but that’s what they were building when my house was constructed. To cure the ugliness of it I added quality wood doors with windows and hardware. )
I just happened across a website that has great pictures and ideas to put barn style doors inside as well which many of my friends have now as it’s very in-style.
Take a look at their website and consider upgrading your doors if they are visible as I think it will add value next time you go to sell your home. I custom ordered mine at Home Depot, but it seems there are lots of speciality places now.
