I need landscaping ideas. My backyard is completely empty. No trees, shrubs, nothing, even my grass is dying.
I need to get ideas on what to put in the backyard. It is already fenced in and about 45 x75 feet. I want to line around the fence and do a bit more around the back fence, but I am at a loss for what to put.
I contacted a two garden/landscaping centers and they wanted to charge me a lot to put in some shrubs and some non-leaf trees. When I did the math, it would cost me so much less to just buy the stuff myself and have my lawn guy install them. They wanted to charge me half the cost to plant the trees, so if the tree was $100, it would cost me $50 to have them plant it with a one year guarantee.
I always imagine a backyard with lots of tropical trees and plants,but I am afraid to buy something and regret it.
So, please give me some ideas and advice. Thanks.
