The Great Landscape Project

If I were younger and could stand the heat, I might be tempted to go into the landscape business. But since neither applies to me, Thank God! I think I will leave it up to the experts. In the meantime, the following pictures represent just a small portion of a front and back yard project that took about a year and a half. The added bonus besides being pretty to look at is I get some new muscle mass and have lost a bunch of pounds. Woo Hoo!



The first picture is the view of our house from the road. The next two are before and after of our front garden along side the road.


The two areas above are right in front of the house.

This one is in the center of the front yard.

Now we're in the backyard. The photo on top is the east side of the yard, unfinished. The second photo is the finished product. The next two are the before and after of the south east corner which is at the end of the row of blocks above.

The next two photos are of the northeast section of the fenceline before and after.

The next two photos are the before and after of the south west side of the yard. The after photo is just the corner section.

The west side again but this time the after picture is of the northwest corner of the yard.



The next few pictures show the center half circle just off of the end of the deck in a before, during, and after process.


The last picture shows the deck that we built and over to the right is the shed that we built from scratch.


To look at the finished landscape projects you would think it looks easy. I'm here to tell you that it is extremely labor intensive but in the end it is all well worth it.
On to the next big project.
