Since we purchased our house last year, we have had some big plans for our landscaping. This weekend it was finally time to put our plan into action. We started by digging out 6 bushes and some monkey grass left by the previous owners. If I was not a fan of monkey grass before,I REALLY hate it now. THAT was a serious project. (But it's gone, yay!) We trimmed the remaining hedges, weeded all the flower beds, and removed close to 100 20-pound bricks from those areas.
Then the fun stuff.....
We replaced the bricks with about 100 20-pound grey retaining stones and then we replaced the old red mulch (yuck!) with new black mulch (yay!). We worked all day Saturday and then Sunday morning. After putting weed killer, mulching around the trees, and edging the lawn, we finished up and we were able to hobble inside,sore, but happy!
Needless to say, I can barely move. After lifting and moving the bricks/stones, bending over, pulling, pushing, etc....I'll be lucky to get off this couch to go to bed! Haha!
At least it looks awesome and I am so proud of our work!
