Our summer project

Starting in May we spent all of our free time working on the installation of our front yard. We decided to do it ourselves and save some money. Brandon forgets how busy he is during the summer with work, so this ended up taking us 3 months to complete. It feels really good to accomplish something like this on our own, though. We worked very hard and spent most weeknights and weekends and finally the hard work has paid off. Brandon and I bounced some ideas off each other about the design and what kind of rocks, etc we wanted in our flower beds and we actually worked really well together and didn't ever fight once about design or products that we were using. But, boy am I glad that this is finally done!


We hand seeded our grass, so it's still kind of struggling in some places. We were just shocked it came up as well as it did at all.
Our black lava rock that took us a while to decide on. We liked the look of mulch/bark, but didn't want the hassle of having to replace it yearly so we went with this rock instead.
