It looks simple but believe me it was anything but! If you go back to the "Before" photos you will notice these 2 beds are filled with years of perennials and....wild onions, weeds, wild garlic, weeds, wild onion, weeds and more wild onion/garlic. 3 -4 men used shovels and hand trowels and dug 8 hours a day for 3 days to remove every little piece of weed root and baby wild onions and garlic etc. and remove it all from inside the hedges. Then we had to make a ramp to get the 500lb sod cutter over the boxwood hedges and in to remove all of the existing sod. Then the new sod was laid in a window pane fashion with Red and White Begonias and White and Purple Wave Petunias.
UGH!!!But, the finished product sure Looks Perty!!
Are you Bored yet???

Last Set...I Promise
Before.....A Jungle
Ok...so I forgot to take some Before pics. But, it WAS very hot and very humid that day. And besides it will make for a nice short story.
So, we started out by sending in a team....
Uh...well....
Maybe more like this...
and in clearing the area....
They came upon all types of wild creatures to deal with
even "I" had to go in at one point to help clear out
some undesirable guests
Yep...that's me!!!!...hahahaa
But, in the end the risks were all worth it!!
and
After hours of hard labor in high humidity the new landscaping was complete
This really was a jungle before. A few new low maintenance plants and reused some existing. Put in a section of old iron fence they had and reshaped the bed. But the new home owners are now elated with the change and.... you know....that's what it's all about!!!
Hope you are having or had a relaxing 4th as there is very little else one can do with all the rain!
Hmmm...Like write a Newsletter maybe????
