Spring clean up on the lawn

I know it's not much, but I just setup a date for a landscaper to come and do a spring clean up on our lawn. We've been here 2.5 years and never did anything.

We've tried, but aside from pulling up a few bushes we have failed miserably because we don't know what the heck we are doing.

I called a landscaper just to price it out and for less than $200 he is going to clean up the flower beds on the front of the house and the edge of the driveway, plant flowers, mulch and edge everything. I just can't wait because I think our yard is a hot mess. They come next week
