Our Big Landscaping Project Starts Saturday!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

Spending the tax refund, plus another pile, to do a full on "Cottage Style" landscaping project. Professionally done, with blueprints and everything!

We saw the artist's rendering yesterday. VERY COOL! My wife is bouncing off the walls over this!

Two major benefits: The edging and borders, plus all the rock and mulch, means WAY less grass to cut and areas to trim! Secondly, it will finish off everything we've done for the last 17 years. (When we moved in there was a very poor lawn, no bushes, no flowers!)

We're pretty psyched! Just thought the DU gardeners and lawn nuts would like to know.

1. Sounds lovely!

You will post pictures won't you? Less mowing is always good.

Edit spelling sheesh!

3. I'll Have To Find Somewhere To Post Them

Don't have any place, just now. But, i'll figure something out.

2. I'm jealous

Don't forget to invite us to your first garden tea party or at least post pics.

Are you going to have a water element? I've always liked little ponds or waterfalls or even a fountain.

4. No Water Stuff

Too fru-fru for me. My wife would love it, but we had to draw the line somewhere. I don't want to spend any more money than we're already spending. It's probably already hit the conspicuous consumption point.

I sent you a PM. Let me know.

5. Make that THREE major benefits!

Resale value, baby!

They say landscaping is one of the things that pays back the most if you ever sell.

Congrats! I'm in the process of creating a backyard paradise myself. Only mine's going to take a LITTLE longer!

Make sure to post piccies when it's all done. I'd love to see it.

8. Take a before picture too

It's always nice to have that later to compare.

I'd be pretty excited too....we want pictures!

10. Have It Already

The landscaper does that and will send us the B4/Aftr by email. B4's are taken already. And, it's a late winter picture so there will be a drastic difference.

9. Curb Appeal Rules!!!!

Actually, the last "project" at our place is the front lawn too.

Good luck with that. Can't wait to see it.
