Welcome
I want to start in the front entrance, so my little home will be welcoming to guests.
Also will welcome me home.
To do that I called in some help.
Where to even start?
The previous owner did not have a good idea here.
The landscape rocks, or what ever they are called, were pushing the boarder out into the walk way.
This, was on both sides of the walk.
Not going to be fun!
There were several wheelbarrow loads full that went to the back of the property.
Why would anyone think this was nice?
I have saved this pile of rocks
at least so far. There are some very pretty rocks.
Maybe some sort of rock garden?
Just not sure yet.
As we dug into the mess, we found a layer of landscape cloth, then the small rocks, then the larger rocks.
It is no wonder the plants were dying.
I am hoping I can now water and feed
the shrubs and have them grow.
Suggestions about paint color are welcome.
Also Angela, I am thinking positive.
Won't that hedge of box wood be beautiful??

Sounds like a ton of work, but I am sure you will have it looking amazing in no time.

DeleteI love your helper, Nonie!! Does he make house calls? Hugs, Karen
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, glad you visited. I am sure he would love to make house calls. Seth, just dove right in to the work that needed to be done.
DeleteI think the front area is a nice place to start, Nonie. I like the color of your house. I look forward to seeing it when it's finished, and what you decided to plant in the garden area. : )
