Finally! Finally! We are starting our landscaping project. I’ve waited patiently; for the snow to stop, for the money to be there, all the while researching and planning. After our surprise snow/rain business last week, I am officially and totally ready to banish the mud beneath a nicely manicured layer of tall fescue grass and river rock.

Jess and I decided to pull in the big guns and hire a landscaper to do the whole shebang for us. I had wanted to do the work, but it’s a lot to tackle (from sprinkler system and grass, to burying drainage lines and a new patio), especially with Parker here any day. On the upside, we laid out exactly what we want, and it’s going to be amazing! A 10×12 garden with raised beds, a farm-post fenced dog run areas with rock, the all important (and HOA required) sod, an extended stone patio off of the existing concrete one, and a cool natural mound area (see the hose layout in the photo? yep.) in the front with boulders, trees, and grasses. I will post more as we progress.
