Project: Front Lawn South Side Part 2

This afternoon we were back outside working on getting this side finished. It seems to be taking longer than it should!

Looking north ward toward the house from the sidewalk.

I (with help from Gino and Isabel) worked on getting the “rainbow” rock down along the front. It looks very nice. The neighbors boarder area will have the same 3/4 stone/rock that has been there since the homes were built.

The gentleman that took out our lawn took out a lot of the stone/rock because our grass and grown so far into it. So we’ll replace it for our neighbor and make it look all pretty.

Looking at the back of retaining wall, I sifted through the dirt to get most of the larger rocks out and placed them at the bottom the wall. I’ll continue working my way up the area as Gino finishes working toward the back yard fence.

Looking from our neighbors driveway back toward our new wall. It looks awesome!

Now the “school house” brick on our house needs to go!

It’s getting late and it’s time to clean up and head inside. Just a quick photo of the whole area before going in. Gino will rent a saw to do a few cuts along the curve in front otherwise we could add the dirt, get some plants and call it done!
