Landscaping offers list of benefits
Got a minute? If you do, I'm going to list some of the things good landscaping can do for you.
What's that? You believe you've heard that before? Well, maybe so, but bare with me because I've got something else in mind too.
All right, let's list some of them:
1.Gives curb appeal.
2. Adds value to your property.
3. Gets Aunt Sally to the front door without getting her shoes dirty.
4. Provides great outdoor living experience for big folks and deals with play activities for little ones.
5. Provides backyard security for dogs, pet pigs and chilluns. There are lots of others, but you get my drift.
Now, here's what I'm getting around to. My sister, Ellen, in Baton Rouge, is a psychologist during the week and capable wearer of many hats when she's not doing her profession, one of them being yard person. So out of curiosity, I asked her why she likes the yard and how does it fit in with what she does as her day job. She thought a minute ... and another minute. "Caw," as she calls me, "Let me ask you a few questions."
"Well sure, Beebo," as I call her, "Shoot!"
"First of all, you know how lucky you are to do what you do for a living, don't you?"
"Well, sure."
"How do you feel when you're outside supervising a job?"
"Well, I love it."
"Is it ever stressful?"
"How could it be on these pretty days?"
"How about the hot and cold days?"
"Still beats inside."
"How does it feel when you've taken a project from first contact through design and installation?"
"Well, seeing an idea become reality is great."
"Really satisfying isn't it? I feel the same when Doug and I plant flowers."
"I know you still do your own yard. Why, when you do yards for a living?"
"Well, because it makes me feel good to see it go from scruffy to nice-looking in 35 minutes and know I did it myself, I suppose."
"The gratification thing again."
"And when you're stressed out, does the yard unstress you?"
"Like I tell people, coming home to your nicely landscaped home just feels good, secure, but look Beebo, enough questions. I want to know what landscaping has to do with psychology. Gimme some answers."
"Well, Bro, I think you just gave some answers yourself. Now, can you give me some answers on what to do with that fig vine you recommended that's about to take over our garage?"
What's that? You believe you've heard that before? Well, maybe so, but bare with me because I've got something else in mind too.
