My lawn isn't just your typical spring mess. Huge portions of it are dead or dying. Something nasty happened over the winter, and we have to figure out our next step. We are not yard-working people. We don't do well standing in the hot sun with rakes and shovels. We are not skilled when it comes to landscaping. I fear that there is no hope that we can get something green happening out there. So when should we throw in the towel and just replace the lawn with something else? Cement or brick come to mind.
Post-vacation, it's going to take us a few weeks to get back on even footing financially. I keep forgetting that I'm not going to get a paycheck Friday (because I didn't work last week). I hate when that happens. So it's not like I can just dial up a landscaper to do it all for us. But I think that's what we're going to have to do. My across the street neighbor's nephew has done landscaping for her, so I'm going to ask her what he'll do and maybe get a price. I don't know...is there a landscaper out there who will do all the work and let us just pay a little up front at the rest when they're done? posted by Jody Permalink | 13 comments |
