How to pick the right photographer...
Picking the right photographer is always a big decision. There are always so many things to consider. Of course money, budget, style, skill level, location and packages. But the hardest thing to determine sometimes is attitude or temperment or hey....is this photographer any fun..? I would encourage you to actually meet with your photographer in a neutral setting...like a coffee shop . I think sometimes we can get dazzled by meeting at their studio or on [...]

Caring for your lawn in the Fall
Its Fall again and with Fall comes lawn preperation for the Winter. So with that said it is the time to overseed your lawn which is a way of saying you need to spread new grass seed on your lawn with a broadcast spreader or a drop spreader.

Stihl Equipment
I find the stihl BR600 to be the best back pack blower on the market. It is what the majority of what landscapers and gardeners use for optimum leaf cleaning. It has great power and with the motor encased inside it is a lot quieter than a lot of blowers. The stihl BR600 is a pretty penny but well worth the money. If the back pack blower is to much money or is more than you will need there is also the Sthil handheld blowers which you can pick up for about 150.00. These [...]

Yard Design
Recently I completed a yard cleanup job in Grants Pass, OR. I found that by not planning a yard prior you can end up with a real mess on your hands. When you are doing a yard makeover or design it is extremly important to know your layout and have some sort of knowledge of what types of plants and shrubs you are installing. Don't just put a bunch of plants everywhere you will eventually regret it. Know what kind of treatment they need and HOW BIG WILL THEY GET. Having at the very least a [...]

I went for an appointment with the client and did the standard practice of reviewing current and prior year tax returns. I had asked the client for the basis worksheet. "Basis?" she said, "What is that?" Misreporting of shareholder basis is a common problem, permitting shareholders to claim excess losses averaging $21,600 per taxpayer [...]
