BACKYARD JUNGLE
Many owners feel that their outdoor space gives people the wrong impression of their values. What is your space saying about you?
INCLEMENT WEATHER
The struggle is real. Pacific Northwest weather has a mind of it’s own, ranging from very hot in the summer to very cold and wet in the
winter. Are you finding it difficult to use your space to its fullest potential due to blistering sunshine, slippery, or wet conditions?
DIRTY FEET, DIRTY FLOORS
You value a clean house. But, if you have pets and/or kids, you know how hard it can be to keep those floors clean, especially in the wet
winter months. This is a common problem that can be easily addressed by developing and maintaining your outdoor space. How much
easier would your life be if you could minimize the amount of dirt tracked into your home?
DETERIORATING DRIVEWAY
Your cracked or stained driveway will make not only a poor impression on visitors, customers, and potential buyers but could also be
increasing your liability by creating an unnecessary slipping/tripping hazard. Why take the risk?

5 TIPS FOR GETTING YOUR PROJECT OFF THE GROUND
- THE RULE OF TEN – Dreaming is an essential element of the project lifecycle. We like to use the Rule of Ten to get us in the sweet spot for time spent dreaming before we ACT: For every $10 of estimated project cost, spend 10 minutes dreaming about it. This is not planning time, just time using your imagination, asking yourself questions, and perhaps even creating a vision board for inspiration.
- CLARIFY THE SCOPE – Get clear on your Project Scope – everything that will be done and complete when you write the final check – by talking to your contractor about your vision and being very specific about what your expected deliverables are.
- MAKE NO ASSUMPTIONS – Making assumptions is a recipe for disappointment and frustration. Instead, ask clarifying questions. Be up front and communicate your desires clearly so that your contractor can serve you in the best way possible.
- BUDGET – Be honest with yourself about how much money you are willing to invest in the project. It is a good idea to set a 10-15% contingency on the project estimate for unforeseen issues that may arise. For example, if your project is estimated to cost $10,000 you would set a buffer of $1,000-1,500 and your total budget would be $11,500. Larger projects may warrant a larger contingency than smaller ones.
- DUE DILLIGENCE – Prior to choosing your contractor, get 3-5 bids from licensed contractors. In most cases you get what you pay for. You may be tempted to choose the lowest bid. But consider the long-term cost. While the lowest bid may not necessarily be poor quality, it’s a gamble that we don’t recommend. Instead, we recommend choosing one towards the middle or top of the spectrum depending on the spread. The reason is simple. If you want your contractor to do an outstanding job, you don’t want them worrying about making payroll. You want them to focus on creating something beautiful for you.
