Yard Work

Warning: If you like gardening and yard work this may interest you...if not, sorry! We had a busy few days last week. And when I say "we" I mainly mean Jeremy...It all started Wednesday of last week, when Jeremy finally finished the rockwall around our front yard. Our front yard has always been an eye sore to me. I pretty much hated it. So, we (Jeremy) had an idea to make a rockwall around the yard to add some character. Before, our yard just sloped down on the front and side and ran into the street and driveway. Very ugly. It didn't help that the grass on the slopes were pretty much dead and looked disgusting. So, that's where the rockwall came in...to replace those endless edges of our yard. Well, after hours and hours of hauling rocks, it's done!!! Now the fun part! We spent a couple days making it look good, with plants and flowers. We also added a fence, which we'll continue on the other side of the driveway at a later time...It was expensive and exhausting, but well worth it. There's only one more thing to do to complete it, which will be happening soon. We plan on laying some gravel down in front where there's some leftover, ugly grass and weeds in front of the rockwall. It serves as good parking. Anyways, here's a bunch of pictures to help visualize what I'm saying! Oh, our next project is a garden. We got a late start, but we bought some veggies already started, so we shouldn't be too behind. I'll post more on that later.
