offer them a few bucks for anything you want landscape wise. it is what the wife and i have done at a few places where people were moving out due to a foreclosure. you will not get any landscape stuff from a private sale and maybe just some personal stuff which i would have no use for but the landscape stuff is worth it. they rarely care and planned on leaving it anyways. plus it seems like if given the chance for them to make a couple more dollars and screw the bank in the process they are all over it.
we got one of those brass fire pit things with the dome cover and brick sides. also got 8 redwood tree's that were about 10' each. 4-5 elephant ear plants, 4-5 large ferns, and a propane outdoor heater. was offered a spa/hottub as well as a pond from some people but had no room for either. the stuff i did get i know we paid less than 500 total for and honestly i think we offered them more than they would of taken.
