First home under contract

Landscaping has great rewards when done properly. One big tip I would give is to not use wood fence posts if at all possible. I know that steel is a lot more expensive but over the long haul you will remember I told you this. 

 

I was lucky at my work that one of the welders there also did week end work out of his garage. He ordered up 4"x4" square tubing, cut it into 7' lengths, welded caps and tabs on. Then I placed and cemented in and 25 years later my fence is straight and true and my neighborhood have all replaced total fences or at least wood posts a few times. Believe me when you get up in your 60"s like me the last damn thing I want to do now is build a fence! hahaha

 

Good Luck with you project. Like I said when you are all done sitting back with a tub of cold brewskies you can marvel at what you did!

I appreciate the insight. It is definitely going to be a challenge. I don't like to cut corner's and I am one who knows to do it right the first time. Too many times redoing something I should have done in the first place so i don't do it anymore.
