There will be a lot of hardscape going in, a lot of retaining walls since the yard is so sloped. And also a LOT of planting. A number of decent sized trees (10-20 feet). It adds up fast. I think it will look great when it's done, just a lot of money to part with for moving dirt around and putting some stones down

I like it just the way it is. Leave it alone.

You are talking about the car, right?

No, the landscaping

Right now the only thing in front of the house besides that tree is about a dozen 18" bluestone squares placed about 3 feet part. There isn't even a walk way. We're geting a large walkway, trees, plants, bushes, retaining walls, etc.

As a side note, there's a big different between "being able to buy" and "affording". Sure, I could buy both, but can't comfortably afford both at once

There are a lot of threads on here about how webmasters should keep a sizeable reserve set aside. This is very true and a very smart thing to do. It's easy to spend, hard to save, but when it comes time to need it, you'll be happy you saved.
