Despite having to fire the landscape company we had hired and losing about $200 in pre-paid materials, the yard is coming along. We're trying to get some money back, but so far it's not happening. Oh well. They cleared a lot of brush and hauled it all away..something we would not have been able to do...so that's good. Otherwise they were pretty worthless. Between our gardener Moses and me...we're pulling it together. So here are a few pictures.
The old wooden bench was rotting away. So my neighbor went shopping with me to pick out the wood...and then he kindly installed it all. I did the staining! :-) Moses added all the rock. I also added the 2 red bougainvilleas.
All of the small stones were collected from the upper terrace and used in the new walkway. The planter with the big concrete ball used to be a water feature...since it's no longer working...we added dirt and plants.
Our new patio used to be an uneven mess of plants and stones. The landscape company "leveled" it but we had to prop the table up on the left side to make it level.
Close up from below.
This whole area used to be ivy...now it's so much nicer.
These plants all came from what is now the patio area. We were able to save most of the plants.
