Bob Ross was fond of painting happy little trees to improve his landscapes, and if you own a home office or your own business property you might want to plant your own happy little tree to improve your landscaping. In Langer v. Commissioner, a sole proprietor who had a qualifying home office was allowed to deduct the costs of landscaping that coincided with his business use of the property. This particularly generous court also allowed a portion of the cost for lawn care and driveway repairs.
