A Desperate Landscape No More

Our front yard was still in transition stage when my parent's arrived. Phil reshaped our sloping front yard with loads of dirt and built it up to make it level. He buried french drains so the rain would run out to the street and not wash away the grass. He used landscaping pavers to create a drop down flower box by the mailbox and line the driveway. We hadn't had time to add flowers, but with a little help from a gift card from Home Depot and Loews, we were able finish the project while they were here.



I planted purple and gold petunias in the drop down box and red Gerber daisies (my favorite) in front of our hedges along with some zinnias. Some mulch and solar lights completed the look. We still need grass in the front, and will probably lay down sod, but Phil wants to get the privacy fence built first.
