Yard Work

As you can see our front flower beds have been suffering for quite some time. There is a whole lot of flower bed and lots of sizes of shrubs. Mostly Azaleas. So this spring we set out to take control of the yard.
Here's the Before: (of the largest flower bed)
The first order of business was to take up all of the landscaping rocks. It was apparent they had been down for quite a while and needed to be re-stacked. Before we restacked them we pressure washed both sides of them.
We had lots of helpers. And amazingly enough these two pulled more than their share of the load.
And here's the after
A few new Agapanthas and lots of Boy Scout Mulch that Zane delivered last weekend.
Now we just have to level out the rest of the dirt and get some grass growing.

This is another bed that we re-did. It had several old holly bushes there before.

And look who is peaking out, even after being transplanted....looks like an Apple Blossom Amaryllis to me
