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!
I love all your designs. Your book is probably amazing. I really hope to win one. I have you first to see on my Facebook page.
I love the privacy screen! My new-to-me house has ugly pool equipment right out in the open and this would be a beautiful alternative to the big box store solutions.
I would love a small water feature:)
I would love to redo a super duper huge flower bed in my front yard. It’s so large I don’t even know where to begin. I need help on what plants would do good in this Texas heat!
We need so much done in the back yard. We are older and need ideas for easier living. This would be a nice book.
I would love to have a copy of this book. I need to figure out a way to add some privacy in our backyard from our neighbors without adding a big fence. The picture of the panel screening wall looked like a good idea.
We’re building a new home so I need all of those!!
After 12 years and much hard work, I am moving to a new house. A brand new house with no yard character. So I will be starting from scratch. I really want to turn the yard from a typical subdivision yard to garden sanctuary.
Well… I have several large pecan and pine trees in my yard and they are screaming for some kind of landscaping around them. I would love to find the answer in this book!
My husband and I bought a second home which will eventually be our home when we retire. The yard desperately needs lots and lots of love! It’s definitely a blank slate right now 🙂
I would like to add a tree and flower bed feature to my front lawn. Additionally, I have a 4′ x 50′ eyesore to the left of my driveway that has me stumped. Landscaping has been my top priority this summer, yet I seem to be at a stalemate. Love your blog!
Finishing out landscaping in the backyard is our main goal. I’d love a pergola, too:) Thank you.
Oh my goodness. What a timely offer. My granddaughters and I were just discussing last night that we need to start revamping both front and back yards. This books would be such a help to us. We have hardscaping in place, it is just selecting and placing plants and making beds that is our trouble area. Ms. Bendrick’s advice would be so helpful.
I would like to add a water fountain and flowers that draw more birds around the edge of our property and in our fenced in area. I would love to get some ideas on how to do that. Thank you
I have always loved landscaping and the impact it has on a house. My family and I spend tons of time together outside in the yard and some fun projects to change it up would be great! I would really love to add a firepit and yard game area to my back yard. Maybe even some paths, or water features. There are just so many things I would love to do to my yard. Thanks for the advice you give and this amazing opportunity!
I’d love to have sort of water feature in my yard! Thanks for the giveaway.
We just had a multi-level deck built and are now trying to decide what to do with the rest of the yard! Sometimes projects seem so complicated, but all you really need is some knowledge on the subject. Great giveaway.
I would love to add a privacy screen to help block/diffuse the evening sun so that we could use our patio to dine.
We installed a beautiful pergola last year and purchased a dining set that would accommodate all family members, but the evening sun is too hot/bright until 7:30, which is too late for my grandchildren to eat.
Thank you for all of the inspiration!
I’ll be expanding a flagstone walkway in the fall in my xeriscape front yard. Judging by what I see, this book has some great ideas.
I need some help to redo the back yard!
