Xeriscaping Facelift

When we bought this house it had great potential. Very much a blank canvas that we could dress up in our own way.

One area that was NOT blank though was the area of yard between the sidewalk and street. No, in fact it was over-dressed. This month we tackled it. Here's the before, mid and afters!

So you can see its this big enormous 12 foot long rosemary bush. We would tell people "you'll see the house, there's a God-awful bush thats taking over in front."

Mid-destruction, stumps sticking up all over the place, dirt being moved. It lived in this phase for about two weeks.









After (Now! Today!)
023 Bam! Xeriscaped to perfection!
