This was a genuinely extremely beneficial post. In theory I’d like to write like this also getting time and actual effort to make a good piece of writing but what can I say I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain anything done.

yes testing the soil is very important!! Because if you don’t have the right amounts of nutrients and minerals then some plants wont grow very well.

Thanks for reminding me about the landscapers – that really should have been on the list. In retrospect, we completely underplayed how difficult it would be, and the $350 would have likely been a good investment! We originally had a couple of landscapers out to give us a quote, but the costs were really high ($2-3k+, but it included labor) and we thought the money would be better spent on fixing some of the more serious interior issues. Our backyard is even more of a wreck than the front (a whole separate post!), so I think we’ll probably use the services of “Evergreen” which is a non-profit that specializes in Landscape Designs to give us a backyard layout/plant list .

What about seeking a landscaper to come up with a plants list and plant layout drawing for your yard. You can get a rough sketch for $350. I haven’t hire one yet but I am struggling with trying to get that look I want but how to get there eludes me. I walk around the Cambie city hall area and see yards that I like but I don’t know the names of all those plants, how they should be arranged and all that. So I think I can really benefit from a professional. Just need to save up and convince myself that $350 is money well spent. Without proper training I can’t put my finger on exactly what the essential elements that make a garden that I like come to be.

You can find the landscapers at garden centers, craigslist or just simply yellowpages. A lot of them would have website with photos from prior projects that you can browse over.

And I agree, besides plants the other decor items can really make a big difference. Trellis, gates, colorful planters, obelisks, gazing balls, a water feature, a small pond arrangement, an outdoor bench, bistro set. All these appropriately arranged amidst the proper plants is what a garden should be.
