When the domestic economy began to tank last year, my husband and I were right in the middle of a pricy landscaping project. We wanted to add some depth and dimension to the yard, and I used my garden design skills to supply a few ideas for the landscaping company. We barely managed to finish the project before fall temperatures plummeted so much as to make work outside unpleasant.
Now that the economy is back on track, we’re looking for ways to reward ourselves for demonstrating patience and saving our hard-earned money. My husband struck on a plan that should make our manicured lawn and intricate landscaping work the talk of the town. We set up a few solar spot lights around the property, each of them trained on a particular element of the garden or lawn.
