Lumber is the cheapest during the winter, which could get you the highest quality lumber for the price of much lower quality lumber during the prime summer months. This might mean waiting to complete your project, but the savings will likely be worth it.

Grass requires regular mowing, watering, and fertilizing. Reducing the amount of grass in your yard can help to save you time, and energy.
