New house/landscape

[Wildman]

My girlfriend (soon to be wife) and I bought the family house from my folks about 3 months ago. We set out to do some improvements to the yard, and being a landscaper I kinda knew what I was up against... I should clarify, major yard renovations is more like it

Did I menton that we are getting married the end of Sep and the party is at the house?

So far we have removed 20ish trees and large shrubs that you could call small trees, rebuilt the outside shower (especialy for smelly farmers coming to the wedding party) Rebuilt the front walk way, and now are almost done with the grading and loam spreading. Irrigation is planned for this weekend and the barn should be ready to move my business in next week

every body loves pictures, so heres a few

Git on it.



Damn. That is a ton of work.


Look forward to seeing it, and peeing on the new sod.

there will be no sod in my yard. F sod, too many problems, going hydro seed, should have green fuzz in about 3 days after its sprayed

So I can expect the usual 15min 1 beer visit?

Pat the wood is usless, nobody burns it because of the soot/creasote factor. With the pitch in the wood its extrmly smoky and dosnt throw much heat... but I do have a few select Black locust that I am waiting on taking down just for fire wood
