Front yard fun

Well...more work than fun right now but that will change soon. We haven't done anything to the front yard since we bought the house. But now that we're in destruction mode, we've made up our minds to make it a usable space.

Our front lawn wraps around the north side of our house to make a nice side yard and a good buffer between the neighbors. It had a nice looking line of hedges that we ignored for a long time. Because our backyard gets a lot of shade, we decided to take out the hedges and put in raised garden beds, seen here under construction.








The neighbors were so happy that we removed the bushes (which apparently are thorny and were overrunning their driveway) that they let us have the garden soil delivered and stored on their driveway while we finish up.

This is my bad: I forgot to take a before picture. So please enjoy this multi-colored rendition of hedgelines past.

Hudson now enjoys the hedge graveyard as his own personal fort. They are awaiting bulk pick-up/mulching day in the backyard.
