Yard Makeover: Day 16
Front yard: deck is completed, most of the planting is done. That little tree in the top pic is a Dwarf Weeping Cherry, which should give us nice blossoms in early spring. Mulch will be added to cover bare ground and all of the irrigation tubing and lighting cords.
Backyard: new trellis is built. It will be stained after the wood has dried out for a few weeks. It looks proportionally more massive in the pictures because of the photo angle, but does shade a larger area than the old trellis. That roll of plastic coated stuff is the honeycomb-like framework that will lie under and support the drivable grass in the driveway.
I’ll have some pics of the new garden/seating area in the back in a day or so, after they finish some cleanup back there.

I am way behind on blog reading and have to go back and catch up on the whole process, but what I see today is looking really fantastic.
So nice to see progress, no? I love those circular benches.
You must be pleased with the transformation….so nice to get this done before summer.
Wow, what a lot of progress in a short amount of time.
Coming along nicely! It’s really looking good.
Wow – it’s moving along so quickly, and looking good!
Such a difference – your front yard looks great. Can’t wait to see the back yard further along.
You have made fantastic progress! I love the circular benches, too!
This is just a terrific design Pseu. Your thoughtful planning and investment will really pay off in your enjoyment.
What a wonderful space it’s shaping up to be! I hope you have lots of wonderful times there over this summer, and summers and summers to come!.
Well,well..I´m finally seeing what has happened. And it looks good! Everything is thought through. I bet your neighbors are green of envy ( judging by what I see of their yards ).
I want to go to there! I love those benches, too.
Looks FANTASTIC! Miss J has a envy.
What a wonderful start to summer! I love the relaxed feel you are going for, it will be perfect for get togethers with friends and family.
It’s going to be gorgeous. Time and 9no doubt) money well spent.
Getting there…. very soon and looking great already! x
I find myself clicking in to your blog a couple of times a day hoping for a new garden update. Thank you for sharing the progress. It looks wonderful!
Looks wonderful. Keep showing us as it progresses.
It looks beautiful and inviting. What impressed me the most was the way you incororated the beautiful old tree into the new design.
I want a trellis too!!! With wisteria growing all around it. It’s my secret wish. Don’t tell hubby – he’d die because I have new secret wishes every other day.
