Getting specific on what needs to be done is important because if you hire any help, they will need help on what to focus on. For example, instead of saying that you need to pull weeds, you could list that you need to pull weeds from the front sidewalk, side of the house, and under the deck. This specificity creates actionable to-do’s.

2. Start With The Free Landscaping Tips

What can you do that does not cost money? The answer is likely a manual labor task that will take time but not cost you dollars. An example of this could be pulling weeds. 

Moving rocks from one area of your yard to create a border in another area of your yard could be another example.

3. Introduce More Color

Do you currently have any flowers, trees, or plants in your yard aside from grass?
