Weeks 36: It’s all about the yard

We have been pitching in to move this project along. Hubby laid out the flagstone so the workers could level them and fill the gaps. I dug up old termite bait stations, pruned some plants we are keeping, leveled some areas near the foundation, researched plants, arranged for a neighbor to use her extra free pickup for 19 green waste bags, and picked up trash, rocks and branches. 

Lots of progress in the back yard. Here is the new patio a week ago (top) and at the end of the week (bottom).



And the walkway

  3. Wonderful that you have a generous neighbor and free extra pickup. Our recycling truck passed us up because we had a Velcro strap that holds the lid down lightly to keep the recycling from blowing out all over the place. When I called to ask why they missed us that was what I was told. They had taken our recycling for 6 months with that strap in place!! I was told they would come back out for $15. They are not at all customer-friendly.

    The flagstone looks tremendous. Wow. You have given me encouragement that we can do this ourselves, too. PC is trying one more go at growing grass on the side where we want the walk. And then maybe we can start setting out flagstone. Just beautiful!!

    1. The type of walkway you want to create should be much easier. Look forward to seeing pictures.
