Working way TOO HARD...

Good Morning everyone. Sorry I have not been around to everyone's blogs but I have been working on my backyard landscaping all week. It does not seem like we got much done but wow it is so much work. So I thought I would share what we are doing.
We had 3 tons of mulch that we had to take to the back
Planted 7 trees and 17 plants in REALLY HARD DIRT
This is one of the sides that will have really pretty rock.
If you can see in the picture it is really slopped and not fun to walk on.
Because we get so much snow and rain this is so the water stays away from the home. 
So we still have to put our flag stone walk way, grass, rock and we are also making a walkway from the front to the back. We have 4 TONS of small rock coming today and 15 TONS coming next week. We still have two large trees to plant. I am feeling the burn let me tell you. 

Well that is my fun or not but it will look amazing when we are done.
I will share more pictures later.
Now BACK TO WORK.

Unbelievable what was lying in our yard! lol I just kept shacking my head...what were these people thinking?!...And oh yeah, 'feeling the burn' is right! lol ;) Hang in there and just think about once it's done! :) Happy landscaping!

  9. It looks wonderful. You must be out west somewhere based on the yard size and lack of grass. My parents house was like that.
