Most new homeowners are eager to make their new house their own and will spend countless hours and money to do so as soon as they move in. I get this and have been know to do so as well. However, here's what I have learned. Landscaping takes a really long time and the sooner you do, it the sooner your house looks like a home you want to see.
I am now in the sixth year in my new old home. It was a major project and the interior work was ongoing. I was eager to get things done and landscaping was not at the top of the list. Big mistake. Unless you live in a warm climate year round, the time to get after your outside is as soon as you can. Many of my shrubs, trees and perennials took years to bloom, so there isn't any time to waste. Landscape first, and you will be glad you did.
