Front Yard Landscaping Project - Fall Work - Completed!

We've had a project we've been wanting to get completed for about a year. Well - last month I finally started it and worked on it on and off and finally finished most of it today.

We wanted to take this NASTY gravel sidewalk out, move the mailbox...








to this side of our driveway so rude people parking vehicles on the road will be less likely to park in front of the mailbox and prevent the postal worker to deliver out mail. Then we also wanted to mulch this side of the driveway in and plant some Iris bulbs around the tree and 4 Azalia plants we have.






Here's the start with some of the black weed-proof paper












Here's our new mailbox post in place.















Pickin up some topsoil to fill in the old sidewalk I dug out all the gravel.












Spreadin the dirt.













Now with grass seed and hay down, we're just gonna wait for it to grow and then the whole icky sidewalk, outta site outta mind!












Here's the mulch pit on the left of the driveway with the 4 Azalia plants and 7 Iris bulbs planted around the tree. Just gonna cross our fingers and hope they all grow exceptionally well! Then it will be all worth it!

Sure glad to have that project done - now on to the next one! :)
