Here is what we started with (it's ok just a little plain jane)
This is the "flower bed" right next to the door (sorry I guess this is the best picture I have of the before):
This is the little patch that sits in the very front (right next to the sidewalk) to the right of the above picture, were the waterworks are (YUCK) I hate this spot (every house in the subdivision has it)
So we decided to go hunting for stone that would look well with our stone front and finally found some we loved at Homedepot (by the way this weekend May 24th, some people from the neighborhood asked where we had found it that it looked beautiful). I agree but let me share and you tell me................
We started by raising the flowerbed:
Here is a closer look at the NEW flowerbed
Then we pulled out the UGLY redish bushes and went flower shopping.
These pictures show you what we added:
AHHHHHHHH much better, yeah they are small now, but it's only the begining of Spring and I am sure they will do well (at least I hope they do)We also fixed up the spot up front where the water-works are and I love it!!!!!!
See for yourself I think you might like it too!
We will still need to find something to edge it with but it does a pretty good job of hiding those pipes.So there this is what we have been doing this Spring............
Enjoy!
