To set your yard apart, invest in streetscaping to add to your home's current and future value. A pleasant view from the street gives a sense of individual pride and accomplishment that will yield results that last for decades.
The architectural features of your yard will be the most expensive and permanent. You may want to plan them in stages: the driveway first, good steps and walks next, porch or fence the next year. Select materials that will add to your landscape, not ruin its harmony. Plantings are easier to install and change, but you'll want to be sure to put them in the right places so they can quickly play a role.

Fix an Ugly Lawn with Overseeding // Complete Step by Step Guide For Beginners
You might think it's difficult to fix an ugly lawn but in this complete step by step guide to overseeding your lawn, I'll show you it can be done much faster than you think!

In the past, I have done this with perennial ryegrass but it can be done with any cool-season grass such as fescue or bluegrass as well. Pair this with dethatching and core aeration and you will fix that ugly lawn in no time!
