Pacific Northwest winters can be rainy and cold, so when they give way to sunny and warmer temperatures, it's time to get outside and enjoy nature. But first, take a few hours to make your yard ready to host all your summer fun. Here are 4 easy steps to getting the job done.

A very common item that people tend to lose is their car keys. Because car keys are used so much, it is inevitable that they are going to be set down in a random place at one point in time and may become lost. Car keys can also become damaged, once again because they are used so much. In either situation, you will find that you need to have a new car key made for yourself.

Large round stones are often harvested from waterways, creeks, and streams where the flow of water gives surrounding rocks a rounded shape over time..

Although this might seem like a small and easy job, there are a number of mistakes the average non-professional can make.
Avoid Slopping Errors
Before planning any shoreline design, it's important to establish the correct gradient, or slope, for the shoreline area to be landscaped.
