Since the day we moved in, now three and a half years ago, we knew that we had many projects to tackle with our home - especially the yard! These bushes in front of our dining room window bloom pretty pink flowers every spring, but they are a major pain to maintain and they hide our window much of the time. So it was time to pay some much needed attention to our front yard. It has been a work in progress for the past few weekends, let me tell you.
John started the project by cutting the bushes out and then digging out all three stubs. Sounds easy to do, right? Those bushes were planted in the clay soil pretty well!!
Then the mulch was laid out.
And finally, we have some pretty flowers planted and mulch finally spread out all the way across.
Next, we need to kill the weeds that have taken over the grass area completely and either throw down some sod or grass seed and then edge the flower garden with rocks.
So far, I think everything has turned out really nice and looks a TON better than before! A big hand to my hubby for all of his awesome hard work! :) I hope to be able to dig in more with our backyard projects.
Speaking of which, backyard projects coming soon!
