Jason Robie: Love your landscaping

As I write this, it's a crisp and nose-hair freezing 2 degrees outside. It's dark. And I'd much rather be under a big blanket finishing season six of Parks & Recreation. (I know! Can you believe I've never watched this final season?) Old Man Winter has us in his boney fingered grip and he does not appear to be letting up anytime soon. I'm still madly in love with winter and, aside from a few unseasonable warm-ups, it has been a great winter for getting outside and playing in the snow.

Last weekend, I found myself "puttering" around the garage, filling up the snowblower with gas and running the weed wacker just to remind him of his duties. This got my mind fast-forwarding to spring and some of the projects I have planned for the landscaping around the house. In general we don't have much of a "landscaping" design at the house. It's almost entirely functional and suits the house just fine. Being tucked away in the foothills allows for some "natural" looking property. For those who are not so remote, the trends coming down the road for 2019 might be a little more important. Let's take a peek.
