Revamping the landscaping

We finally got our old house's yard in the condition we wanted...and then we moved. So now we have been working on our new yard (in between all the rainy days)! JC really doesn't like to do yard work, but he humors me anyway....good husband!

Step 1...remove the privacy fence.

Going...



Going...



GONE! Our yard looks so much bigger!



Step 2...Redo the flower beds. We made the backyard beds look nicer and added to the front yard.

Laying out a new border and killing the grass.



Digging up the grass, and tilling.



Adding some nice edging!



My Dad and JC also added a garden on the side of our house. It's almost done (pictures soon!) But check out the cool flower box they made using the leftover wood from our old fence!

Your yard looks great! Congrats on all the hard work paying off. What kind of flowers are you planting, and what about in that garden?

P.S. As a soon to be mom, I'm just wondering how long it will take me to figure out who or what backyardigans are...?
