Landscaping project

We finally were able to fix part of our landscaping this past week. We had this ugly hole in our back yard that we believe had been dug out by previous owners for a dog kennel. We had some boulders and fill dirt brought in and now we have all this new yard space to use we never had before. I wish I could say the landscaping update is finished but it actually has just begun. Eli plans to fix the sprinkling system next year and we hope to begin the transformation from no trees and flowers to adding hundreds of scrub Oak trees with cement curbing and ground cover below and then add flowers in between all the boulders on both terraces. He also wants to replant the entire lawn from scratch. We have a really wierd type of grass that is bushy and always looks yellow even when it has been well watered and fertilized.


Here are some before pictures from bottom & top

I love the boulders even if spent weeks trying to track down rock that would match to no avail. It still looks a million times better than it did. I am very happy with how it turned out.






















Here you can see the extra yard space we gained.
