Here is a funny article about why you should hire a professional landscaper instead of trying to do it yourself:

Landscaping: A Green Thumb's Nightmare

So you've decided to take on that landscaping project yourself to save a few bucks. What could possibly go wrong? Well, let me tell you a hilarious tale of caution about DIY landscaping gone terribly awry.It all started with visions of a lush, magazine-worthy garden dancing in my head. Armed with a shovel, a bag of seeds, and an overabundance of confidence, I set out to transform my yard into a botanical paradise. Little did I know, I was about to enter a world of pain, sweat, and regrettable life choices.The first challenge? Digging holes. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong. After an hour of backbreaking labor, I had managed to create a series of uneven, misshapen craters that would make any gopher proud. But hey, at least I got my daily cardio in!Next up, planting. With dirt-caked fingernails and a rapidly diminishing sense of self-worth, I attempted to artfully arrange my carefully selected flora. Keyword: attempted. What ensued was a horticultural massacre, with plants haphazardly strewn about like a botanical crime scene.But the real fun began when I tried my hand at laying sod. Picture this: a grown adult human, rolling around on the ground, wrestling with stubborn strips of grass like a deranged green burrito maker. Needless to say, my neighbors were highly entertained (and mildly concerned).As the weeks passed, my once-promising garden devolved into a wasteland of withered plants, patchy grass, and crushed dreams. It was then that I realized the harsh truth: landscaping is an art form, and I am but a talentless hack with a trowel.In retrospect, hiring a professional landscaper would have saved me countless hours of backbreaking labor, countless dollars in replacement plants, and countless nights spent lying awake, haunted by the ghosts of petunias past.So, dear reader, heed my cautionary tale. Unless you possess the botanical prowess of a horticultural demigod, leave the landscaping to the professionals. Your back, your wallet, and your fragile sense of self-worth will thank you.
