We have been working our behinds off in the back yard and I must say things are really starting to look up. I wouldn't say things are even close perfectly landscaped, but it is a little bit closer to what we want.
Our sad sad garden area before:
Happy happy garden area! It is mostly planted now with each square foot holding summer deliciousness. I love the gravel out there.
Planting strawberries
This corner before tree removal.
After tree removal. Here that? That wood is calling us to go camping.
Pre-tree removal, pre-swings
I am just so amazed at how different it feels out there now. You don't really go out there and think, oh the trees are gone! It just feels a lot more open and inviting. We kept all the chips from one of the trees to use as bark dust. It was about 100 wheel barrels full so we put it all over the back area and it looks great as a ground covering.
Sa-wing! The kids are loving these 12 foot lovelies.
It is fun to really see results now. It is a start anyway.
