Professional Budgeting Ideas to Get Your Pet Project Underway this Spring

The team at Landwork Contractors always works with our clients to help them get the landscape of their dreams while staying within their budget. We know the holiday season is underway, but winter is the perfect time to start saving for your big spring project.

Here are some of our top tips to help you save for spring and summer fun during the winter.

• Have a Plan & Set a Goal-There are basically three steps to having a plan.
  • Decide how much money you need to save. Our trusted landscaping experts are always happy to go over design and come up with reasonable estimates.
  • Know how much time you have. For instance, to start in April, you would have 4-5 months from December.
  • Know how much money you can set aside as you save. If you can only spare $25-$50 a week or every two weeks, that’s fine. There are ways to find more money to put aside.
• Plant the Money You Save- An online or local savings account will help grow your money while you wait. The interest may not be huge, but every little penny counts.
• Get Rid of Unwanted Items- From Amazon to these amazing book selling sites, you can earn quite a bit of cash from unwanted or unused items.
• Find Other Sources- There are hundreds of ways you can get extra money for your dream project while barely lifting a finger.
  • Earn money on opinion sites. These sites will pay you in points that you can trade for giftcards or even cash.
  • Save on groceries with coupon and rebate apps.
  • Make small changes. If you always get a coffee on the way to work, start brewing at home. Skip the movie and enjoy your streaming service at home. Little changes add up to big money.
  • Use a change jar. If you have a little extra change jingling around, put it in a change jar and let it sit. You’ll be surprised how quickly it fills up.

Professional Paving and Repaving Services Can Change the Whole Look of Your Home

The experts at Landwork Contractors have been providing dependable hardscaping services for over 16 years. One of the best hardscaping additions you can make is paving or repaving your blacktop. Here are just a few of the incredible benefits.

• Safety- A professionally paved driveway provides a safe entrance for you, your family, and friends. Even paved driveways age. There can be cracks, potholes, and dents that make the driveway uneven. Repaving your driveway is a quick and easy way to create an even surface for family and guests.

• Add Curb Appeal and Value- A beautifully paved blacktop driveway can add extra value and beauty to your home. Concrete drives often look drab and incomplete, while blacktop looks professional. Many homebuyers also know the importance of a well-paved drive, so repaving increases the value of your home too.

• Protection- When you have a properly installed or repaved driveway, you also get some protection for your home and your vehicles. Blacktop driveways provide the appropriate grading and leveling needed to keep moisture away from your home. The flat surface also protects against damage caused by rocks, potholes, and cracks.

• Saves Money- A beautiful blacktop driveway requires a lot less maintenance than gravel or concrete. It is less likely to crack and is very easy to repair. It is also highly durable. In fact, your driveway can last up to 20 years with proper care.

• Makes Driveways Safer During Winter- Blacktop creates a reflective surface that helps to speed up the melting process of snow. This means quicker recovery during early winter months and fewer issues from ice.
