So this week might end up being a bit pricey. I'm trying to finish off the front yard...a few months ago, flush with tax refund and yearly bonus money, I decided to finally gut and re-do the front yard - which was unsave-able. Pulled up all the plants, grass and sprinklers and started anew. Yes, a bit pricey but the lawn was pitted, thatched and covered in bermudagrass, the sprinklers leaked and sprayed the cars and the rosebushes were about 20 years old and beyond diseased.
Then I took a break for a while and now it's time to finish it off. I need a plumber to fix a city pipe leak and a stump grinder to get rid of the two "trees" (you know, the kind that no-one plants on purpose, and in 10 years you have a weird-ass tree), so I can put in a fence between my yard and the neighbor's.
Once that is done then I can finally have fun and start landcaping as right now it's just a beautiful green lawn surrounded by dirt. So I'm guessing that both the stump grinder and the plumber together will be about $500. Getting estimates in the next two days from licensed contractors I found on Craigslist. Wish me luck!
Should I Plant a Bunch of Money Trees?

I read an article some years ago in WOOD Magazine regarding planting walnuts. I think it was on one acre of land, and in twenty years you will have completely covered all the costs of your tree farm and can sell the lumber for about the price of a pretty nice house.
Plant them ten feet apart fertilize once a year, and thin the grove I think it was every five years.
I never had an acre of land to call my own, but if you do, walnuts could turn out to be money trees for you.
Have a great day. Stay safe, and may God bless. I wish you His peace.
