Time Travel! Waaaaaaay back to the beginning of the battle with the weeds. Not much has changed in the past few years…
We started clearing out and redoing the side yard in continuation of 2010 Year of the Exterior. The plan is to install a small fire pit and gridded cement paver patio area as well as create a planter area out of the wacky pony wall.
Here is my rad plan below. I know, it’s just a garbage map, but hey this is fledgling landscape design (I have illustrator and this shit is hard).
The big circles are trees, the little ones? I don’t know maybe some feathergrass or kangaroo paw, maybe a cactus thrown in here and there.
What we did:
-Remove tree stump.
-Add dirt.
-Level it out.
-Stake down about 400 sq.ft of geotextile fabric.
-Shovel more gravel.
-lots more.
Still to do:
-MORE gravel
-Level it out
-Build fire pit
-Install landscape edging
-Install cement pavers
-Clean out debris
-New fence
-Figure out the rest of the yard
-Plant some stuff
