The Mr. and I are both taking work off tomorrow to meet with a landscape designer. This designer was actually a regular at the gas station I worked at when I was a teenager. He would stop in every morning and evening to fill trucks and feed his crew so I got to know him and his guys well. He owns a company that installs and maintains decorative ponds in yards, but he also does general landscaping as well. Actually, I referred my parents his way about a year ago because they have a decorative pond/waterfall in their backyard which needed some maintenance. Designer guy swooped in and saved the day. Actually, saving the day is an understatement. I am forever grateful to him. He has come out in his spare time to help with trimming of shrubs for free. Such a huge help to my dad who just can't keep up with that stuff anymore due to his MS.
Anywho...he's coming out to our place tomorrow morning to help us brainstorm some ideas for out 2 acres of wide open nothingness. Seriously, our yard is pretty sad. Beautiful for it's size, especially now since the grass outnumbers the weeds (success!), but it has nothing going on. Once he does some design work for us, we have to do the hard work. It's definitely not in our budget to have people come out to landscape for us, but with a little sweat, and probably a decent amount of bickering through the process, I believe we can totally do this. Especially since my sister and brother-in-law have volunteered to help. Yay!
