Ok, so if you have followed me by now….you know that I love to video my experiences…AND if I
could have I would have loved to have on video each and every contractor that has come to my home to give me an estimate to landscape my backyard. Then you could choose!! Hiring a Landscaper has been much more of a challenge than I anticipated. I am wanting to add a small area of grass, rock, bushes all around, & even a place for a future garden. I am not asking for anything fancy…just something to get started. I have a limited budget…but am optimistic that it can be done for that price or possibly close to it. So far, I have had 8 contractors come to look at my yard. Yes, I said it…8! I wish Taylor were here…I would have her interview them and would choose by process of elimination. 
It is starting to become comical. I know I am young, I know I am blonde, I know I am a woman…but really?! I wasn’t born last Tuesday! During this process I have been told a wide variety of various facts about plants, and have been told by one contractor he could do what I want and then the next guy who comes tells me something completely different. I have even been asked out on a date by one guy. I am beginning to think that I need a “Rent-A-Husband”. (A man large in size, who at times can be intimidating, and who can negotiate for me just so I can bypass the “young single blonde” image).
I had a couple landscapers come out today, and by the time the last guy came out this afternoon…I caught myself only hearing “blah blah blah blah blah”. I guess that means I need to hire someone!!! Don’t get me wrong…I have gotten bids from a few contractors that I feel legit…even if it is a little more than my budget. So, I am revisiting what I can afford and what portion needs to be done now and what portion can wait until funds become available. I have narrowed it down…and pretty sure that I have the right person for the job. I’ll keep you posted!
Until Next Time,
E
