: : Hi there.. 

: : I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. 

: : My yard is currently the most hideous piece of land that ever existed. Every time I pull into my driveway, I cringe. 

: : I had a landscaper come in, and he promised me that he could make my yard look fabulous for no less than $3,500. 

: : Although I would gladly give him the money, I can't help thinking that I could do some of the things on my own.. I was leafing through Breck's catalog when I thought I could do a year-round bulb garden to edge my driveway and maybe do something in the back, but other than daffodils and tulips, my knowledge is next to nil. 

: : I was searching the web for pre-fab bulb garden plans but I'm not having a good go at it. Can somebody recommend a reference that details plans like that? I'm even open to perrenials as opposed to bulbs - as long as I don't have to replant every year!! 

: : Thanks bunches.. 

: : Novice Gardener

: These guys make promises all the time for simple landscapes, that most people can do themselves. Go to the library and look up landscaping. Upon reading a few books you'll have enough knowledge to do the project yourself. A lot of books even have pre-made blueprints including plants and many different layouts for patios, backyards, frontyards, etc. It is hard work but not only will you save more than $3000, you will also have the proud feeling of accomplishment on a job-well-done.
:  I've seen the layouts these guys make for people with new houses; they are simple, used repeatedly, and copied from the same book that you could check out at the library. Unless the entire lot is to be redesigned, the lanscaper isn't a necessity.
