Just a couple pics of the project that was started originally end of July!!!
Had to dig out lots of perennials and roses.
Yanked out some shrubs with the tractor.
Removed the icky degraded railroad ties (the best part!!)
The paver steps went in pretty fast though there is an optical illusion that the cure slants down (its level). Had some of the rocks and went to the farm to get a few more without smashing fingers
I had dug out the poor sandy soil and replaced with a compost/manure/soil mix (about 3 yards) as we changed up the grade a bit.
Replanted with shrubs (dwarf conifers and smaller stature plants) recently bought and the perennials partiently waiting in pots. Planted a few bulbs this year. Re-mulched yesterday afternoon.
Had a beer to celebrate
