What this yard needs is lots of work & lots of money
When we moved into our house this is what the front yard looked like. Christian & his Dad then took out the weeds & some of the other dead plants. We have had a few hits from neighbors about our need to work on our yard & have been known as the people with the dead yard by some of Jillian's friends in the ward.
Originally Christian was planning to redo the yard himself, but we have very particular homeowners requirements so it would need to be done more quickly than a couple of Saturdays would allow. Plus Christian realized how much work it would be so we decided to start checking with landscapers. We have a crew of 4 guys wout working on it now & they have been for the last 2 days. Christian is so happy he didn't try to do it by himself.
They took out all of the old stuff because it was all dead & not coming back. They are redoing the wall, the boarder around the tree & putting all new trees & plants in. Then they are putting in grass!!! Yeah, that is my favorite part. We will finally have grass out front & out back so I can send the kids out to play without eveyone coming in covered in dirt. The other thing I really like is a paved pathway from out backyard to the front porch. It just goes along the side of the house so we can pull our trash cans to the street more easily, We have had to fight to get them out over tons of rocks shich was a pain!
They should be done tomorrow & I can't wait to post pictures of our new yard!!
