How to Make Your Neighbors Jealous: 3 Tips to Dominate Your Landscaping
Making your neighbors jealous of your beautiful front and backyard by implementing these powerful three tips to improve your landscaping. Having a beautiful lawn is a strong indicator of success and you can be the talk of the town without having to spend a fortune. In fact, some of these tips will even help you save money!
First, replace all of your old, ugly incandescent outdoor lighting with attractive solar accent lights. Modern solar technology has improved drastically over the years and now you’re able to have automatic lighting every night that’s cost effective, adds nothing to your electricity bill, and requires a fraction of the maintenance of conventional lighting.
Create your own secret garden in your backyard as a place to escape the hectic lifestyle of our modern lifestyle. Find solace in your retreat with comfortable seating, a birdbath or gurgling fountain, and privacy bushes that enable you to forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday commitments.
Lastly, use exotic plant species to make your lawn stand out. Choose species that don’t spread rapidly, but Japanese trees that can be formed into enormous bonsai plants add a particular flair to your yard. Plants that you normally don’t see around in your neighborhood will surely turn heads and make your neighbors envious of your landscape design skills.
These strategies will make your yard stand out from the monotony of suburbia and don’t require a huge financial investment. Solar lights will actually save you money! If you’re unsure about what type of solar light to buy, consider using a LED light buying guide that will help you choose how many LED’s you’ll need in your lighting product.

Any suggestions on how to save $ landscaping front yard, paving and making sidewalks…???
As we are on a fixed budget but do need some work done and would like to keep this project as a DIY job, but don’t want to go broke doing it. This house has no garage, and only small stones in driveway, lawn is bare, no grass in some patches but has rose bushes, trees and some small plants…need all the info i can get, and what’s more cost effective? stone walk ways? brick, concrete? asphalt driveways? what shrubs make good walls? any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
You have to be careful buying grass seed. The cheaper stuff is most likely annual grass and will die after the season.
Check your local stores (walmart, kmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s etc) frequently. When a plant is past it’s bloom time, they will often mark them down half price. You won’t be able to enjoy the plant this year, but next year you’ll have beautiful flowers and shrubs at half the cost.
Concrete is expensive, but cheaper than asphalt. Cost will depend on how much you need.
Shrubs that make good walls are Forsythia, Rose of Sharon, and most types of evergreen.
