Why not beautify the land surrounding a house/building-- it's as easy as 1,2,3. First, cut/pull out all the dead-shrubs/weeds-- to get a clean slate. Second, get some flowers/soil from any local garden-shop-- and plant them. Third, accent the area with stone/brick-- to give the place a uniform-look. Keep the necessary tools in a shed-- to maintain the landscape on a daily-basis. Turn your place into a botanical-wonderland-- it just takes the will to do it!
