We have been busy "remodeling" our front yard. Our house has been stuck in builder mode since we moved in (yard-wise). We've had plans for it, but lacked the money. Something spurred Steve into action this Spring, and so I ran with it! He'd already started before I thought to take a "before" picture, so I'm stuck with merely the "now" and will soon take a "finished" pic!
No, this is not ALL we did. This is a pic for my mom so she can see the replacement gardenia bushes Steve got me for the ones that failed (um, I killed).
The major addition is the garden around the bench, which wraps all the way around the house.
We moved the birdbath so it would stand out more. It was in the bigger bed to the left.
This is how it wraps around. The brick wall is a bit overwhelming. We plan on adding a trellis or two with vines growing up until the azaleas take over.
Please disregard the tire marks Steve left. He brought in great soil (we had nothing but clay). Unfortunately, it had rained the day before so the grass was not as forgiving as it would normally have been. So, what do you think of the progress we have made so far?
