Landscaping ..What would be the most important feature to add to a small front yard to make it most appealing?
I have a small front yard with two large oaks. Other than those two trees, everything else is drab, scraggly and/or eroded away. The yard is mostly on a slope and the soil is washing away down to the sidewalk. Other homes in this neighborhood are attractive and well manicured. I purchased this home a few months ago and am now ready to put about $3,000 dollars into professional landscaping. What makes a house attractive and appealing to you? I live near Fort Worth, Texas. Our summers are very hot and dry. I will be adding an irrigation system, however, we are always rationed on water usage in the summer.

A professional landscape gardener planted buxus and another berry plant in my garden. Should I remove them?
I specifically told the landscaper we did not want any poisonous or dangerous plants as we have two small children. Now my toddler has extreme contact dermatitus from the buxus. Should I demand they replace the plants, or any idea how to protect my baby? The garden is now a completely no-go area, which is totally impractical!!

How important is your landscape to you?
I am getting in to that saturated landscape market and I am trying to get an idea of how badly people want to have a gorgeous landscape. I know there are alot of ma and pop landscapers out there so I am wondering if there was a new company built with people that had a true professional landscape background, some even with horticulture degrees, would people pay what it really costs to have a sustainable water saving beautiful landscape?

How do I get my lawn to look thick and green like the professional landscapes?
I just bought my first house and the grass is brown and being overrun by weeds. It looks horrible. I want to start over and plant some Kentucky Blugrass (I live in Minnesota). How should I do this? Do I just seed over top of the current grass, or should I rip it out or what? And also, how do I maintain it every year and what shoud I do and not do (lawn mower height, fertilizer, weed prevention, etc.). I know its complicated, but give me your best tips, write a short novel if you have to! I just want my lawn to look good.

What's more important during a drought?
Watering your damn plants, or being able to take a shower? I live in Georgia, and incase you didn't know, we're about two months away from not having any drinking water. Some town in Tennessee is already dry. A city in metro-Atlanta tried to pass an ordinance banning ALL outdoor water, including professional landscaping. They had a bunch of whiney citizens at their city council meeting last night b*tching about it, and eventually the council caved. What's wrong with these people and their priorities? Personally, I think the entire states of Georgia, Florida and Alabama need to adopt a complete ban on all outdoor water, including professional landscaping. I walk my dog on the Chattahoochee River several times a week, and you can see the severe decrease in the pool level. And besides, how are these people going to water ANY plants if we have no water. I don't feel like showering with Poland Spring bottles. What's wrong with people, people? Well slopoke, considering that there ISN'T ANY WATER!!! The damn plants are going to die anyways, and that is my point. Aside from the light sprinkling of the occasional shower, we ain't got none! People don't realize just how dire the situation is now, and we're going to have to do some major adjusting from what we're used to. That includes not hogging up the drinking water.

What does my Tarot reading mean?
Love is in the air today, nikki! Under the influence of the World and the Empress, you want just one thing: to surround yourself with as many people as possible and flirt with one and all! You know this kind of day only happens once in a while, so you're ready to meet someone's across a crowded room and then, who knows? As far as work is concerned, you?ll need to spend much of the day dealing with other people, however much you?d like to avoid it! The World, which represents the professional landscape today, is a sign of openness, while your feelings are dominated by the Hanged Man and you?d rather shut yourself off. Faced with such a conflict, you?d do best to free yourself from your self-imposed barriers and let yourself join in with the opportunities presented by others. Don?t worry ? to open up is to blossom!
