One Weekend to a Better Yard

Front of My new Home
How long will it take you to clean up that yard and bring it up to par with the rest of the neighborhood? No matter how bad things have got, you can transform your yard in one weekend or less.

Before you get started you need a plan. What details are you going to tackle first? The answer to this question is different for every homeowner. For instance, you may need to do nothing more than trim some bushes and plant some flowers. On the other hand, you may be in for a bigger job which includes pulling weeds, getting rid of dead trees, carving mulch beds, etc. As long as you have a plan you can move from one detail to the next without getting off track.

Now that you have a plan you need a budget. How much money are you willing to spend on this project? Since you are doing the work on your own you will save a lot of money on labor. Now, you have to decide how much you are going to spend on supplies. This can include: shrubs, trees, flowers, mulch, and gardening supplies. What do you already have? How much can you spend on what you need?

In one weekend you can take your yard from total embarrassment to the envy of the neighborhood.
