The house we bought was flipped, the sellers put a lot of work inside, but "fixed" the landscaping with a chainsaw and a guy who's instructions were "if you can safely cut it down with this, do."Originally Posted by moosejaw
That is exactly what I did this summer. lol
New house and the woman made me dig holes everywhere for these green things that suck the life out of the soil.
June was clearing the back "garden", it was a garden once, then it had 7 years of wild growth... it's well on it's way to being a garden again...
July was clearing stumps/root balls/etc from the flower beds around the house... fixing the drainage of the yard so it ran away instead of towards, and generally getting things "ready" to be finished later.
August was mulching the flower beds, removing a few final stumps, etc... and finally building a 12x24 deck to replace the 12x14 patio that was in the back yard...
So far we've put one lilac bush in, and the wife has a few pots of Mum's that we'll put in the ground this weekend...
I just wish there was a way to multibox yard work!
