Landscaping 101

I can’t believe how different our yard looks today from last week. It is a HUGE difference. For those of you who have witnessed it first hand, you’re well aware of the jungle that stood before us. For those of you who didn’t get the pleasure of being eaten alive – it was like a scene from jumanji with the vines winding their way across everything and just way too many things growing and no planning.

As I said last time, I enlisted a couple friends and former coworkers of mine, who have had their landscaping company for 5 years now, to help with the process. Now “help” isn’t the right word as that’s mostly what Alec, Devon and I did as our bosses told us what to pull out, what to trim down and what to rake up. I was happy to comply, someone had finally taken charge!!

Our yard now looks like this:

In old news. . .

I meant to post about this before the wedding, but I had some other things to do. . .

Our neighbour spoke to Alec about our overgrown jungle plants & we had removed some. But the next task to tackle was the hedge & a tree that was coming close to touching our neighbours’ satellite dish.

Thanks to a hand-me-down tool, we tackled these projects one night while BBQ-ing dinner. Here’s the finished product! (Or at least what it looked like at the beginning of June)

Apparently, we need a tutorial from edward scissorhands…

Everything packed up and ready for the next pickup….in the fall.

There’s a path again!!

Until next time…
