I have neglected my yard...for years. Weekends would find me in the hills all summer long. That is great and all, but damn, my yard suffered. It wasn't what I thought of the yard, but what my wife thought of it that made my stick around most of this summer. It needed some major tending to.
So, I did what I should have done years ago. Planted some grass where it was missing, planted some trees where it was bare looking. Black plastic in the garden. Borders where they were needed. Some decorations to give it that finished look, and Voila! The place looks good now, and should be easy to keep it like that now.
The garden is killer btw. Black plastic, compost and mulch.... the only way to go.
