Flower Bed Facelift

Within days of moving into our new house (just about one year ago), we had a plumbing problem that required a giant hole to be dug in our front yard. Nancy wasn't thrilled with the bushes that had been in the flower bed, so she didn't have the workers put them back. What we were left with was a bed FULL of giants rocks and lots of clay. Over the last year we threw in some boxwoods and planted some new grass, but the bed needed some TLC. See below for some before and after pics.

Before: Nancy and Naomi taking out rocks and leveling (the picture doesn't show it but the dirt kept sinking around the pipe, so the middle bush is about 12 inches too deep).

After: Nancy and I got some new soil, mulch, and a couple flowers at Home Depot.

A good day's work. Now for the rest of the yard...
