Front yard work-landscaping by the skin of your teeth...

Befores
This porch thing was on the house when we bought it...the sides have been taken down by the time this pic was taken- there was lattice work on all the sides. It was horrible.

A few years ago I built the path to the second door (there wasn't one when we bought the place) and put in some dogwoods and a big rock.

NOW

The dogwoods got too big so we replaced them with grasses. I pulled the mulch up and replaced that with river rocks...The porch was cut down and made to look like a normal persons porch

The pavers you see by the door are to fix the walkway. The last 3 ft or so dropped in the past few years and the water pools there during rains. It needs to be fixed.

This still has mulch in it- it will be changed over to river rock too....
