This post is sponsored by Husqvarna. In Part One of this spring relandscaping, we talked a lot about Husqvarna Battery series outdoor power equipment. We also touched on the virtues of using someone with landscape design expertise as well as the value of consulting with a horticulturalist when tackling changes to your landscaping. In this round two, we’ll detail what officially became a full-blown, out-of-control, massive re-landscaping adventure. It’s an adventure that entailed many 12+ hour work days, jackhammers (for concrete and concrete-like dirt), hardscaping, two crane deliveries, replacing almost every plant in our yard, some very perilous tree placements, new drip irrigation, new irrigation pipes, new sod, and completely re-envisioning our yard. Don’t miss the dramatic Before and After photos near the end! Oh, and as part of the Yard Wars competition on The Family Handyman, you can vote for your favorite landscape project (pick us, pick us!) and enter for a chance to win a Husqvarna Automower 450X in the process (see official rules for details)! Here we go! Read More

You walk outside to be greeted with warm rays of sunshine, chirping birds, that fresh spring-y scent in the air, a mild feeling of euphoria, AND the sudden realization that your yard looks like winter dropped a bomb on it.

Whatever the reason, spring is an ideal time to lay the groundwork for a rockin’ lawn and garden you can enjoy all summer. Join us in this first of two articles where we’ll be tackling sprucing up our lawn and spring garden and checking out several of our sponsor Husqvarna’s Battery series cordless outdoor power equipment tools in the process.
