Pick6I steal flowers from other people's yard and plant them in mine.
And patio furniture, too. -

justincredibleWe've spent a little more than $100 so far on our front yard, but not all of it was for "beautification." About $70 of it was for building two additional raised vegetable beds. The rest has been on mulch and flowers. We are putting a decent amount (probably $1500-2000) in to our back yard this season on various projects.

ts1227We just moved in last fall, so of course this year is pretty high in costs for us. Between patio furniture, mulch, grass seed, garden, flowers, soil, grill, etc. I'm easily north of $500
Not all necessarily beautification, but you get the idea -

SnotBubblesWe mulch every year, mow our grass and trim our bushes. Low maintenance but clean is our approach.

Fab4RunnerOur house was vacant for almost two years, so the yard was very overgrown and out of control. A lot of it was cleaned up a few weeks ago, but there is still a lot more to do. We need to move some plants, plant some others, and we want to build a deck and put in a patio and fire pit. Should be fun times. JK.

Manhattan BuckeyeAbout $200 since our lawnmower has moved on to the great lawn and garden show in the sky and needed to hire outside help. We stopped planting flowers on the front patio since they would just die anyway.

sportchamppsWe just moved here in Feb. We are easily over 2k since then. Next year once the ground settles we are gonna spend about 5-10k on a patio or deck with a built in firepit or fireplace and a fence. I also need to pay someone to remove 2-3 trees along the edge of the woods on my property.

I'm in the same boat...My house is also built into a hillside and is in the woods pretty much..My back yard consists of 30 trees and a very steep hill..It's really fun to mow.Fab4Runner;1615643 wrote:Our house was vacant for almost two years, so the yard was very overgrown and out of control.

thavoiceLocal town has free mulch for the taking so I took 4 scoops so that saved about 140 bucks.
Have rose bushes that dont need planted every year, so no cost in that.
May do a few flowers that dont come up from last year.
Looks like I do need to replace 2 bushes though so that may cost me something.
Does a garden count? -
