landscape my yard

Ahhh finally.. the sigh of not having to directly deal with my lawn anymore.. We hired Southpark Landscapers to handle the maintenance and reconstruction of the duplex property. For .5a, weekly maintenance, bi-yearly fert, and a smattering of other chores $145/mo. Split between the other tenant and myself is a reasonable 72$/mo. The landscaper said we would be treated preferentially thus giving us a discount on the rest of our landscaping needs. He also said that it should only cost us 400-600$ to get our yard back in a decent shape. (You should see the fro’s of the ungainly-highly overgrown boxwoods). So in the coming months we’ll be ripping out most everything that is a bush and reshaping, re-defining, the yard. I can’t wait.

At least it’s in good hands now. This isn’t over yet though. :)

I made a call to Southpark Landscaping. The owner was in transit and hard to talk with. I’ll make a call back during his lunch.

I figured out what is necessary though. The other duplex owner and myself need to get our 1/2acre redeveloped over time. It’s been 15 years since any real landscaping has occur’d besides lawn maintenance. We need new trees, bushes, natural areas. While I’d love to put in the sweat, I don’t have time for it. There is too much being juggled to handle this multi-week evolvement so we will defer to a pro.

I plan on calling a landscaper this week.. no.. really.. ;-)

I think I was scared to before since I was wibbled on the longevity of us affording a landscaper but I think we can use one long enough now.
