gasoline and a match.don’t forget the garden hose too
The cheapest way is always to do it yourself. The only problem is it will take a lot of time, but it is the cheapest way.
most landscapers will do cleanup for a fair price, usually around $200-300 depending on size. Then purchase a large sheet of visqueen or some sort of plastic, cover the ground with it and cover it with mulch until you can find the funds to do what you want
grass seed, lilacs and large stones that you find here and there
Spread grass seed all over to help your grass, mow often and water as often as you can. Get a rain barrel for under the evestrough. I don’t know what I would do without it. Coolest thing ever.
Now that the grass is looking better, get some lilacs! No maintainence needed and they don’t look like shit like cedar trees do because they need so much water, and they give you a lovely privacy wall if you need one. They just add to any yard I think.
Now that the lilacs are planted, place large stones around them, or in a line around your property. Big round or square rocks, the possibilties are endless.
Trees like pincherries and easy to transplant, they grow fast and have beautiful blooms in the spring, and also attract many birds and butterflys.
Another beautiful thing for a plain yard is clamatis.
And when you get some money saved up, cement slabs and a pergola, awesome!
Good luck with your yard!
