The Before Picture

 

So every big project needs a before picture, and this is ours. Our major undertaking right now is the relandscaping of our front (see above) and back yards. I don't think our house was the worst in any sense, but the people that owned the house before us had overplanted in a lot of areas so it became a jungle. Plus there were some plants that I just can't stand such as the junipers in the picture and our 14... yes 14 rose bushes in the back. Whenever the kids went out to play, they were taking their lives into their hands! Also in the picture you can see the dead patch of grass that I tried everything to save, but was beyond hope. Well, this is where it started.
