This month is we have been in our house for 3 years, and FINALLY we have finished the front yard! Yippee!
Below is the "before" picture. It had sprinklers and weeds...but a ton of the sprinklers had to be replaced/design changed, and the only way to get rid of the weeds was to kill the entire yard and start over.
4 trees, sod, mulch, landscape rocks and lots of shrubs later. All that's left is burying the drip on the park strip and finishing that left bottom corner with some concrete so that the kids can ride their toys off- the sidewalk just ends there normally.
Remember all those rocks that came out of the yard? Kevin made a little rock river in the park strip...cuts out water usage and also reminds us of ALL the hard work we did! ha
I think the best compliment we got was a gal who said she just loved our yard and her yard would look that nice, but they didn't pay anybody- they did it themselves. I told her Kevin and I did it ourselves too and she couldn't believe it. Lots and lots of sweat and boring weekends that's for sure!, but we are very happy it's done! (Don't ask about the backyard!)
