Yard Work

After we came back from the reservoir, Eric and I tackled our side yard. we've been having a problem with weeds and un-wanted tree sprouts, so we decided to dig up the existing landscape fabric and replace it. Here is a picture sequence of how things went.

These are the before pictures. Looks pretty bad, huh?

We dug up the old mulch, the weeds and trimmed back as much of the tree sprouts as we could. What an ordeal. This process definitely took the most amount of time.

We leveled out the dirt area and laid down new landscape fabric.

We'll have pics of the finished project on Friday because we underestimated the amount of mulch we needed. Friday is pay day so we'll be buying more. So far, this project has taken us about four hours.

And here is the final result. We could probably use a few more bags of mulch, but it's good enough for now. Please ignore the tree sheddings. Ahhhh, the power of teamwork!
