Landscape supplies can come at a very heavy cost. There are many ways to help save money when doing a project, leaving room in the budget for other things. Knowing where to look and what to look for is a good place to start.

End of season sales are a great place to pick things up at a much lower cost than at the beginning of a season. Try to plan ahead as much as possible and buy things when the stores are clearing them out to make room for others, and it is possible to save a lot of money. This might mean delaying the project for a year, but it will likely result in significant savings.

Look in the classifieds. Sometimes people buy too much and try to sell what they have remaining. Nobody expects to pay full price for second hand goods, which they are, even if they have not been used. Check the local paper as well as the many online classifieds in most areas. It can be surprising how many items are available at a lower cost than retail. Many people grow annuals and sell them at a lower cost than stores, or are thinning out perennials and will sell or give them away, so this can also be a good place to find needed greenery.

More and more places are popping up that accept used or unneeded building and landscape materials. Buying them at a location like this helps to reuse and recycle and is also an effective way of saving lots of money. Sometimes higher priced items can be found that are definitely lower cost than buying from a retail store.

Watch for the sales and get the best price. It's smart to watch for sales and to try and wait to buy everything at a discount. You might even be able to wrangle a deal on things when buying them all from one seller. Don;t ever pat full price by watching for deals.

Find Do-it-yourself websites. Often, projects that look expensive can be done using materials that cost very little. Learning new techniques and ways of doing things with items you already own can save considerable money.

Let everyone know what you are looking to buy. Use social media to your advantage and get the word out to friends, who can then let their other friends know what you are seeking. This can be a super way to find things and maybe round up some help in doing the heavy work as well!

By watching for sales, and perhaps waiting a bit longer to start your project, you can sometimes save surprising amounts of money on your projects. Being patient and trying to save as much money as you can will leave funds for other things that need to be done around that house.
