Paul to me: "You should start a landscaping company."
Time for yet another shift in career?
By procuring root barriers, trees, weed cover, and workers (myself included), and by finding a cheaper garden supplies place for the bark and rocks, the total cost of a recent yard project for Paul and Amy was at least $4125 cheaper than the estimated price. How happy to accomplish such a huge task so successfully. :D
New trees that will eventually provide shade to a window-filled kitchen:
A cited-by-the-city park strip before I worked on it:
Same park strip after, with weed barrier, landscaping rocks, a cleaned-up weedy hill, and bark chips:
Weed-surrounded, empty garden boxes (this picture is actually from 2010, so it's not quite true to the pre-project situation):
Turned into this, with weed barrier, bark chips, landscaping gravel, and a thriving and varied crop:
Yay!

Hmm, I think he's right. I should hire you to come and fix my yard. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Cleaning up this messy world one section at a time. I guess I had better go pull some weeds!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good worker.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Michelle!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job!
ReplyDeleteYes, amazing job! I will be consulting with you soon on our cited-by-the-city park strip!
ReplyDeleteWow! The money that can be saved by working on things ourselves. But oh my, it looks like it involved lots and lots of work. Sounds like a good business if you can do it at a price far lower than the market rate. Good one!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I look like a slob and a lazy, lazy person. 'Preciate it.
