A little TLC for my poor yard.!

I've been wanting to "spruce" up this side of my yard for a couple years now. So I took my "mothers day" money and just DID IT.!

Before Brit and I put all the plants in here it was just an ugly length of gravel ...nothingness.!

I bought Barberry bushes, Boxwood bushes, and Stella De'Oro daylillies. We got them all planted and then put bark around them after we laid down weed mat. Then I found a bunch of rocks and drift wood that was just laying around waiting to be used someplace special. And and finally put the wagon wheel that my mom gave me in a special place. Keep in mind that when we get the Mansion finished, the wheel will be moving to its permanent home. It will be surrounded with clump birch and large rocks. But for now...it looks amazing in it's "temporary" new home.! Thanks mom.!! And voila' this is the amazing product.! I figured it was about time to pay some attention to my poor neglected yard. Thanks again for all your help Britt.!

New Stairs

Brittony built the frames and her and I poured the concrete today. If that wasn't exciting.!! lol

Then we put some cool little river rocks on each step. Notice the ones in the upper left corner....she did those.!! Bahahahaa...just kidding.! Those funky ones are mine.! It was a trial and error thing. I failed.! So that being said, I had her finish the rocks while I went to town for more concrete.

This is the final project. They look AMAZING.!! Can't wait to see what they look like after we spray the rocks off and get them shiny again.

Two thumbs up.!!

And this is the huge mess we had to create to MAKE the stairs.!! I love them. Can't wait to take the forms off and use them. Thanks again for all your help Britt.!
