ARE YOU JOKING?




Seriously... I had an appointment with a client to go over their pre-need funeral plans and when I pulled up to their house, this was what I saw. It looked like the "STAIRWAY" to heaven. I didn't know if I was selling Funeral Plans or if I had died and had to enter through this gate.I was so depressed when I left their home regarding my lack of gardening skills that I immediately went to the nursery and spent $60.00 (which I didn't have) on flowers. Needless to say...I am very disappointed in the outcome of my efforts to make my yard look half as good as my clients. I must be doing something wrong...perhaps a new house/yard?

Well if your wanting it to look like that it's going to take a lot more then 60 bucks. I love your yard, but I bet that was beautiful.

Those pictures are amazing, but I think everyone would agree that your garden is much more beautiful. You spend every minute of the day looking after it and making sure everything is ok. The only difference is your garden is your children. You do a wonderful job at keeping it beautiful. Love you.

Is this story true? These looks like pictures of the web. They remind me of the "stairway" book set that funeral homes sell. That must have been their inspiration.Your yard is beautiful. The best part is...it's home! That is the most important part.

Your yard looks fantastic and your house is looking amazing. Don't be discouraged, some people are way too fanatical. I prefer to keep things simple.
