Our backyard has been a dirt pile since we ripped the old sunroom off and I was fed up with how much sand and filth was being tracked in. I told my husband we have to finish the patio and put some stone down ASAP. Well it turns out if wanted it done I would have to do it myself. So I grabbed a pick axe and hummed "Hi-Ho" and leveled the area last week
It took 3 days, totally sucked, but I tried to think of all the calories I burned.
My husband finished it up by making sure it was graded level and I planted some shrubs...
Then for Mother's Day I got just what I wanted.
10 tons of pea-stone!
And the party started... Landscaping fabric was laid down to keep the weeds out, and stone was dumped.
It was hard, I am pooped, but it is shaping up...
Kid's even helped...
Still have the area around the beds to finish and some edging to do, as well as trying to decide how I am gonna layout out the furniture and plants...
but I already christened it last night with a bottle of wine.
Be back with some real "done" pictures at the end of the week!
(I also have some garden magic I am working on along the fence)
Right now I need to let my arms recover.
