If you remember, we were removing an outdated railroad tie retaining wall (that was actually hidden beneath a mound of junipers -- yikes)! and replacing it with very natural-looking stacked stone, installing new sod, and in general, just tidying up the aesthetics of the yard.
So here's what we started with on Monday . . .
And this is what the front yard looked like at the end of the day yesterday . . .
The junipers were completely pulled out and disposed of, as was the hidden retaining wall underneath. Grading was done to accommodate the new retaining walls, and we also pruned existing bushes that will remain in the new landscape.
We're so excited to have you all follow along on this yard makeover, and I hope that you'll see how easy it is to give your landscape an entirely new look! What I especially love about the changes taking place at this property is that in the end you'll really be able to see the house -- it won't be hidden behind a mound of plants and foundation bushes.
Also, this is a good example of how you don't have to do everything at once. The beauty of re-landscaping is that you can bite off chunks at a time. The Roaches are doing a major overhaul with the new retaining walls and sod, but they will also be waiting until the fall to install fresh plantings that will complement their new landscape.
So, that was day two, and currently day three is underway. The sod is being installed, and even more clean-up is taking place. Stay tuned . . .
