I have a nice garden that's not too much to maintain, lots of rose bushes the tenants can cut and bring inside, flowering vines on the fence (and take care of any repairs/issues around the building - real "pride of ownership").

Which sounds great, but can be a real nightmare when the city does a half arse job of doing it, cutting irregularly, getting rid of any flowers or plants you might have put in, not allowing bike racks in front of business.

I'm looking for properties in the Lewisville, Flower Mound area.

@Alex Flowers ..Go for it!!

I like the pre fab awning idea, and the walkway definitely needs some work to make it all look more symmetrical, I didnt even consider the lawn other than adding some flowers/bushes.

Add another foot if you put ivy or other climbing vines/flowers of the screen.

A couple of us on BP are known for long posts, some with more flowers than others, but relevant to the topic.

Here's a list of the improvements:-Replaced the roof-Landscaped the front yard with new sod, shrubs, flowers, mulch, etc.

SFRs- we take care of trees and shrubs, tenant takes care of mowing, edging, and flower/vegetable beds.Maintenance Issues: We take care of all maintenance & repair.

Hands down it's Maui, Hawaii --- the blue skies and clear water and beautiful exotic flowers.
