New yard plans

With spring here we are trying to implement

some of our yard plans.  It's not an easy

task with some of the ridiculous restrictions

on what can be purchased for your home.

Above is my plan after many changes and I

have already changed again where the raised

garden beds with be. They will be more on the right

side of the yard than the left side.  This way when

the trees in the neighbors yard grow they won't

shade the garden.

 This is the front of the house.

It's ok, but a little bla for me.

I wanted to add another bed .  This way I can add

perennials and bulbs to add 

some interest through the seasons.

My husband removed all the sod by hand.

 We then put weed cloth down so nothing
would grow up into the new bed.  The goal is

to keep it weed free and make it easy in the future.

 All the brick stones had to be
leveled as the front yard slopes

toward the street.

 Then it took 7 pickup beds of dirt to fill it up.

Just as soon as it's warm enough and I

can go to the nursery to shop for plants 

This bed at least is ready.
