Our Landscaping Project

We were able to do quite a bit of landscaping this weekend. I love to see before and after photos, so I thought I'd share them with you!

Here is our house when we bought it...

Here is is after Chris killed all the weeds and plowed it.

And here it is after we were able to build up a flower bed, lay bark dust and plant some trees and flowers.

I came up with the idea to get these pavers or whatever they are called and build a raised flower bed.

I just LOVE how it came out. Today we went and bought some really cool flowers for it. I can't wait til next year when they fill out some more and bloom!

This is one of my favorite plants that we planted near the tree in the island.

This is one that I planted in the raised flower bed.

Thanks for stopping by!
