To make sure you are not getting ripped of.

And then you can usually buy it cheaper than normal.

1- watch for end of season sales.
2- Garden.org is full of buddies who will share plants with you.
3- Wstch your local classified ads for rock, stone, bricks... And often plants. You can get a lot of it for free.

If you like affordable statuary..,



Design Toscano will have that for you. Wait for their %25 percent off everything sale.

Wow springgreenthumb your yard is gorgeous!!! Being an erosion expert, maybe you can help!! I'd like to create beds, but my husband is concerned that without putting some type of border in front of the fence, the soil within the beds will just sink under it. Is there a simple solution to this? I think having something next to the fence and then another border a few feet out will look weird. I love the look of the rocks you have and would love a rock boarder, I'm just not sure about the fence 'wall'.
Let me know if you have any thoughts. I may not be explaining or even understanding all of this so fee, free to tell my I'm crazy also!!
