If you find yourself wanting more landscape than your wallet can handle, consider going all out in one area and skimp on the rest.

It is my opinion that having one really great space that connects people and feels good to be in is far better than diluting the landscape dollars across the entire property.
From experience I know that homeowners who take a low budget and try to landscape the entire property only end up with a slightly better version of what they started with.
The same money spent on a well-designed living area or garden will offer at least one place of enjoyment that you will love and use.
