Yard: Phase 2

Well with the weather starting to warm up we have been hard at work on our yard. I have to say, the house looks so much better with all the work that D and I have been putting into it. For our beginning pictures please see the blog titled: Yard: The Beginnings.

Once we got going with laying the sod in the front yard we realized just how big of a front yard we had! Three pallets of grass later we had beautiful green grass in front of the house. It was definitely a multi day project! Before we could even lay the new sod we had to tear up all the old dead stuff first. Out with the old and in with the new.

Now that the grass is in place, we can start building the border around where the bushes will be. We plan on lining the front of the house with green bushes. More on that to come.

I love having little flower gardens and we plan on having two. The first we have already planted. It is on the side of the house that is connected to the garage and is full of daffodils and tulips. The second one will be just in front of one of the sections of bushes and will have Calla lilies. More on that to come too.

One of our next projects will be the side of the house. We have this pile of gravel sitting on our sidewalk. It belongs on the side of the house. So on one of these days, we will clean the side yard, and haul all the rock over to the side of the yard. Why hasn't this been done yet you may ask. Well, the company that delivered the rock was supposed to deliver the rock on the driveway next to the yard, but instead it was delivered clear on the other side of the house. It has been kind of a deterrent to finishing that project.

Of course, as we finish more of our projects I will continue to post updates!
