Still Doing Landscaping...

Carolyn did most of the mulching...

Kids were cleaning out their pumpkins while we did the landscaping, Chance and Tanner carried up all the mulch before they started though, so that was a huge help...

Starting to shape up, but WOW, there is always so much more to it than I think!!

Got the walkway done, the forms up for the concrete so the flagstone can be put down and all the mulch, etc done...

Still a TON of things to do, but one day at a time!! :)

Yeah, I still have to get those plants on the bank in the ground, but that tiller I rented was too big to smooth the bank out! Cory brought me a much smaller tiller over today, so I'll fix that tomorrow...

I still have that area where the fire pit will be to do, ugh!! I've already moved about 40 wheelbarrows full of dirt from one place to another, not sure what I'll do with the dirt I need to take out of there, we'll see... I'm tired now, so I'm not doing shit for the rest of the day... :)

Here's a question: In that third pic, I wonder if I should center that post? I never really thought about it, but Carolyn thinks it looks off. I could do it, I have three extra fence panels and a few extra posts, it would just require time! :)

Well, it would make it look more uniform. But I wouldn't say it's necessary or anything :-).

Matthew said...

Precisely what I am thinking, it's not necessary, particularly right at this moment! :)

very pretty :)

It looks great! Moving the fence post seems like a lot of trouble; I think I'd save that for once everything else was done. :)

Looks great. Glad to see Carolyn! :D

So, what is the verdict?? are the kids getting dressed and going out? I see you got the pumpkins. :D

I don't want the fence covered! If I had wanted the fence covered, I would have thrown up a wooden fence for a fraction of the price! :)
