Getting Help

The first thing that I had to do was some research on Seattle landscape architecture.  There is an entire history that I was completely unaware of being a new home owner who never thought about any of these things before.  My friends, who are old time professionals at the home ownership game, recommended some books to me.

They are long and tedious, but I’m getting some good information out of them.  I think really though, this may be a little more time costly than I had originally anticipated.  It may be that it is time to get the professionals involved.

The house is beautiful, but the lawn and the backyard was just a total mess.  This was an unwelcome surprise for me to say the least.  Seattle landscaping is a very prominent part of the architecture and look of the home and I was way out of my league.
