Someone recently commented that they wished our blogs were longer and more in depth for 'newbies'. It's delightful to know that we are peaking interest in homeowners that want to improve their outdoor living spaces. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to dedicate to more in depth blogging and education. Carl Sandburg said "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you." We would like to share our recommendations for resources that we think are worthy of the investment in both your time and pocketbook.
