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!
Ok first of this is really sad, we have lived in house over 20 years…. we ahve tried different flowers and have not found the right stuff yet. Just the year we ahve decided to build a fire pit/pation in the back yard : ) I am so excited for it to get cooler so we can enjoy the fire : ))) We got the back porch screened in last fall and have totally enjoyed it and now we want to fix the back yard to have fun stuff to look at & do : )
This book would be such a great inspiration to get things moving.
Thanks : )
We need to rip out the old Jurassic Park bushes in the front and start from scratch with something more interesting, attractive and easily maintained!
My back yard needs lots of help! We are about to demolish our grungy deck and rebuild a larger one. I’d love to have a fire pit on the deck but not sure if that’s safe. I guess I could have a water feature also in case the fire pit becomes a hazard on the wood deck!
We’re in the process of redoing our own backyard. I could use some inspiration!
Is like to add something interesting, besides bushes, to hide my AC unit.
I would love to have a stone firepit.
I would like to make a little grilling patio for our green egg and charcoal grill. Thanks for the chance!
ME ME ME!!! Oh I would like a water feature. Looks like a wonderful book.

I would love to win this book. I need ideas for my back yard!
I would like to add some stone steps and redo a small brick patio. Thanks for a chance to win.

I have a townhouse with no yard, so I’m limited. But I do want to do something new with the two flower beds that run across the entire front and I’d like to add a fire pit, furniture, and plants to my patio.
When the weather cooperates, I think a bocce ball run would be a fun idea and simple to accomplish. But so many of the projects look doable. The patio screen is unique and pleasant.
Need a grilling area closer to my house!!
I do enjoy your blog. It was fun to watch the transformation of your house. We, too, have a fixer-upper inside and out. Our yard is a desert between two beautiful gardens. The previous owner filled the planting beds with miscanthus and hostas. The micanthus is gone and the hostas and crumbling garden shed are next on the demolition list. We have a blank slate and need all the help we can get.
I need ideas on what to do with my flower bed. Sounds like the kind of book I need.
I have a huge yard a little over an acre. I want to create a walking trail with overflowing flower beds on either side and a water feature.
Oh man this book would be a huge blessing! We are moving to a new home in a few months and we really want to plan out our new backyard this time instead of giving a landscaper free reign with a budget.
Love all of the stone work on the cover. Would love to add more stone to back yard!
Terracing and fire pit
Sorry to hear about your dad will be praying. How exciting about the book giveaway! We just started Landscaping the outside and I find it hard to do. I’m much better at decorating. Plus we just had new concrete put in and a firepit surround so we need ideas and what to do around evetything.
In the process of building a farmhouse on our land in Oklahoma and we need to do all the landscaping! This book looks so beautiful with several great ideas!
