Garden Work

This Memorial Day weekend we worked in our flower beds in the front of our house. The one in front of Hannah's room was uneven. The mulch and dirt would wash away every time it rained. So we decided that we would level it out ourselves and save some money. Really, how hard could it be! Well, we found out that it is a lot more work than you would think! We had to build up one side with retaining bricks, add top soil to level out the shrubs, and we add flowers and mulch to both beds. Here are the before and after pictures of the one side we leveled.

We understand how you feel! We did the same to our backyard. It's not an easy project at all. However, it really looks great! The flower bed totally catches your eye now! You will be sooo glad you did it. You probably already are. Now you can say you did it yourself and know that you could do it again!
