Is grass right up to the side of the house ok?
Hello! In need of advice for landscaping our new build apologies in advance if this is not allowed please delete if so.
So on this side of the house we wanted to keep a clear grass strip for the dogs to be able to play on - the other side (not shown) will have landscaping pebbles etc
I have read that its not wise to run grass all the way up to the house as the moisture can cause issues to the foundation/block weep holes but i also dont want any pebbles or anything over here as the dogs like to pick them up and run around with them and do dog things which means the yard constantly has little pebbles everywhere lol
Can anyone give me a solid clear answer as to whether its ok to run grass right up to the house on this side only or if i really should avoid it and if i should avoid it what is our best solution that keeps both me and my dogs happy?
Thank you in advance for all advice, im a gardening and grass noob
