When I saw how big the lawn on the property that we were looking at, I said "if we get this one, the kids will have so much fun playing in it!". I never thought of the other consequences of having a big lawn. It finally sinked in. I realized that I have to mow the lawn during spring. We need to get a lawn mower and an edge trimmer to make it neat. We have to buy fertilizers and weed killers to make the grass greener and healthier.
Having said that, I am not really complaining. In fact, my wife and I are excited on how we will be landscaping the yard. A couple of weeks ago she started to trim the existing plants beside the house because they have grown wild. We also have started looking at plant nurseries for plants that we would like to use. Man, they are expensive. We wanted to plant some Emerald cedar trees and we found out that the cheapest was $50.
Right now, we decided that we will wait for plants that will be sold on sale. I was told that Canadian tire and Home Depot sometimes offer cheap ones. Who knows, maybe we can score some from Kijiji or Craigs List.
Here are some photo's which we will use as the before pictures.
