About Landscaping Builders
Hi, I’m Andrea gardener, wood-shop tinkerer, and the muddy boots behind Landscaping Builders. This blog grew from a simple notebook of lawn care reminders and tool notes into a place where weekend warriors and pros swap practical ideas that actually work. If you’ve ever wondered which mower blade survives a Texas summer, how to edge a walkway so it looks crisp for months, or what finish makes a cedar planter glow you’re in the right spot.
My approach is part field guide, part workshop bench: straight talk, tested methods, and honest product reviews. I believe landscaping should feel like collaboration with your space not a never-ending chore list. That’s why you’ll find step-by-step lawn care calendars, native plant pairings, irrigation basics, and quick wins that deliver big curb appeal. And because many great landscapes are built in the garage first, I mix in woodworking tips from jigs and joinery to the “best tool to use” for each project, with budget and pro options called out.
Inspired by storytellers who make garden wisdom feel like a conversation over the fence, I try to write the way I talk: friendly, practical, and a little sawdusty. Grab your gloves (or your favorite chisel) and stay awhile. Let’s turn your patch of ground no matter the size into a place that welcomes you home, handles the seasons with grace, and grows more beautiful with every pass of the mower.
