Most folks may tackle two or three houses in a lifetime. This Old House TV's crew has taken on 59—and counting. What they've discovered in the last three decades is sure to help any home improver
It isn't just for TV's "after" shot that TOH projects always include an adequate budget for landscaping. Proper plantings are crucial finishing touches for any project and only improve with time, while a master plan provides a great road map for your home as money becomes available to tackle new outdoor enhancements. And eye-catching landscaping adds to a house's value, too—a point well demonstrated by the sunny tiled oasis at the 2004 Bermuda project.
"We pick the right plant for the right spot and do the proper soil prep—it pays off in the long run. For advice, talk to a pro at your local garden center." —Roger Cook, TOH Landscape Contractor
