Hi, My name is Danielle Gorski, and I am a blog writer for LawnStarter. I’m writing a guide on what new first-time homeowners should budget for lawn care, particularly the unexpected costs that can come up after purchasing a home. To add firsthand insight into my article, I am looking to interview a new homeowner (who has bought their first home within the past 5 years) to interview for the article. I'm seeking a new homeowner who can share their personal experience on a few questions: 1. What did you actually budget for lawn care in year one, and how did that compare to what you ended up spending? 2. What was the most surprising or unexpected lawn-related cost you ran into after closing on your house? 3. Did you find out about any lawn issues that the previous owner never mentioned? 4. Did you DIY or hire a pro in your first year, and what made you decide that way? 5. Is there any lawn care job you wish you'd tackled sooner instead of putting off? 6. What's one thing you wish someone had told you before you started budgeting for lawn care? Any response will appear in my article, with your responses attributed to you. Thank you so much for your time! Best wishes, Danielle Gorski
