I know you all love books, so today I’ve got a fun giveaway for a new book, Big Impact Landscaping by Sara Bendrick.  Transform your space on any budget with 28 DIY Projects for homeowners to beautify and add value to your home.  Expert landscape designer and TV host of DIY Network’s I Hate My Yard, Sara packs 10 years of experience into this beautiful how-to guide that will teach readers the best, most efficient ways to elevate their yard and get the most out of it at every budget.

We all know firsthand how much landscaping projects impact a home.  I can certainly attest to that with my current home and how much it changed when I landscaped the front yard. Talk about the wow factor!

The book is for crafty men and women who love to get creative and enjoy doing DIY projects.

Sara is giving away 2 copies to my readers, so all you have to do is leave a comment and tell me what sort of landscape project would you like to tackle at your house?  Interested in adding a privacy screen, fireplace/firepit, dry creekbed, water feature?  What’s on your list?

I’ll choose 2 winners at random and you’ll both get a book!  Giveaway ends one week from today!

    In my neighborhood the houses are close together, so a privacy screen would add so much to my yard! A fire pit would be great too.

    My back yard needs a complete overhaul. It’s mostly dirt and weeds right now, but I would love to be able to have a plan and work on it as my budget allows. I’d like to have a patio area off the deck with a fire pit. And maybe some detail added into the privacy fence that also needs to be replaced.

    I have been wanting a firepit and water feature in my backyard. And now I’m thinking about an above ground pool nicely landscaped with decking and plants. My “wanter” is thriving!

    I have a fenced backyard for privacy and the safety of my fur babies. I would like to soften the look of the wood fence with some type of whimsical landscaping and lawn decoration. Would love to peruse this book and get inspired!

    We are working on a remodel of our home & back yard. We love being outside. Going to do some work in the front of our home too. I would love to have a fire pit area and a water feature would be awesome. It’s so relaxing listening to water. We gutted our home 32 years ago and it’s time to give it a facelift. We really have a open space in the back yard. Would also love to have a covered patio so we can enjoy it when weather rolls in.
