What does it cost to landscape my front and back yard?

I want to have a retaining wall made (10ft.x15ft.) (1ft.high) going downhill. An arrangement of plants and flowers to be planted within retaining wall. 30-40 evergreen trees trimmed. A complete clean up of both large front and back yards. Mulch and stones added everywhere. What would the cost to do this be?
What would the labor cost be around?

You will need to have a heavy equipment rental. We just rented ours from http://www.i80equipment.com/ because they were dirt cheap. Excuse the pun. The type of stone you choose makes a big difference. Don’t forget the cost of cement, mulch, loads of dirt, landscaping materials, etc. We spent $5k on ours. That was cheap compared to what we could have done. You have to really save wherever you can. The equipment rentals are the most expensive, so shop around. The site i listed is pretty good. When you buy plants, don’t skimp. When you do, you’ll find you get plants with diseases that spread to the rest of your plants and kill them off. Mites are a major problem with Walmart plants.

What is the best camouflage patterns for hunting in these areas of Texas?

I will be hunting in deep East Texas and a ranch in South Texas that borders Mexico.

What’s the terrain like?

Yes, camo is just camo, but if you wear the wrong pattern, you’ll stick out like a sore thumb.

For example, the camo patterns I use now, I wouldn’t use in North Georgia- the terrain is different.

Something like this may work:
http://www.realtree.com/camo/apg.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/ap.php
The above 2 links are about the same pattern, the first one has more green to it than the 2nd one does.

Here’s the links to other camo patterns they offer (leaving the snow one and wetlands one out)
http://www.realtree.com/camo/max1.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/classic.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/timber.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/hardwoods.php
http://www.realtree.com/camo/hardwoodsGreen.php
With all the links, it also gives you pictures to see how it would look against the woods.

Make your outdoor hot tub area beautiful with these landscaping tips

Now that you have a gorgeous hot tub outside in your backyard, why not let it set the stage for the rest of the space? The exterior of your home is just as important as the interior and can be a potential advantage when selling your house. Hot tubs can act as a valuable asset to one’s home. Your hot tub acts as the focal point of relaxation, but did you know that you can build around it to make it even more appealing? Transforming your backyard into an outdoor oasis is easier than you might think. Want to change your outdoor space but are on a budget? Apollo Spas carries cheap hot tubs to fit any sized home. Here are some landscaping ideas to try:

A little greenery goes a long way. Landscaping doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply add a couple planters or pots, with some of your favourite shrubs or flowers. You can line them up for a modern effect, situate them at each hot tub corner, or place them at each side of the hot tub stairs to enhance the entryway. If you don’t want to worry about pruning, use trees/plants that don’t grow significantly (Bonsai trees are a great example).
Privacy can be pretty. Building or setting up a hot tub gazebo is another great way to ensure privacy while dressing up your outdoor area. A gazebo helps to distinguish the hot tub as the focal point and acts a saviour when it comes to rainy weather.
Perk up the place with pebbles: Hot tubs look wonderful around the elements of nature. Why not incorporate stones around your hot tub? You can find or purchase different varieties of stone and align them around the hot tub or create a unique rock garden nearby. It’s an easy way to make your hot tub look elegant without a lot of effort.
Apollo Spas has a wide selection of cheap hot tubs to fit your budget. Visit Apollo Spas, Seattle online http://www.apollospas.com/ to view their hot tubs, hot tub accessories, outdoor structures and gazebos. They offer a wide variety of cheap hot tubs to choose from.

Is it safe to use landscaping fabric around established trees with an exposed root system?

I have a large maple tree about 30 years old with a partially exposed root system. It is difficult to mow around the roots and I would like to place landscaping fabric around the tree and cover the fabric with pine straw mulch. Then I could set potted plants around it. The root system is so dense that my attempts with planting hostas and caladiums has been futile.

I would think that would be fine, we’ve put it around old trees before without any problems.
