Now the Front!

This was a big weekend (again) in our yard. We have now started to landscape the front yard! The major work is done, we just have to wait for the tree planting.  

BEFORE

You can see the pallet of Blue stone on the driveway next to 2 huge bags of sand all ready to go!

We have been dreaming this project since we moved into the house. Our plan was to start this weekend and probably finish next weekend. Well, Stephen came home friday with WONDERFUL news... 2 men were coming to help him with the project! That meant that I didn't have to do a thing, barely lift a finger. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind manual labor. But this was going to be a lot of work, lifting big slates of blue stone, and much more. Don't worry I did my part...I gave my opinion, and that I am good at! Stephen worked really hard and I think he is still feeling it!

And here is AFTER!

The new oak will go in the space next to the driveway. Stephen is talking about a fence too, that will come with time. I am so impressed with the work they did, it would have taken Stephen and I ages to finish. We both feel this makes our house feel more welcoming. I hope our friends and family feel the same!

ps...will someone please remind me to take pictures mid-summer?!!!
