Upgrades

When budgeting for home improvements do you include landscape upgrades?  The rule of thumb is to spend 10% of your total home improvement budget on the landscape.  Just like your kitchen countertops or the hall bathroom, landscapes can become worn out or dated.

This year you should budget to replace the old railroad ties bordering your bed with rock, or get new shrubs installed to replace the mammoth junipers or yews.  You will enjoy the change and reap the rewards when you decide to sell.
