When we moved into this house the yard was a disaster. Back in 2003, we had to destroy and rebuild. Since then it has been a never-ending work-in-progress.
We are on a corner lot and the house is positioned in an odd spot on the lot so there is no real front or back yard, there's just one giant side yard. There used to be a random chain link fence running through the middle of the yard. I'm not sure of it's purpose, so it had to go.
There was also a tree stump about the size of our dining room table right in the middle of the yard. If there were still a tree there, it would have been really cool, but there wasn't so we removed the stump.
We removed a lot of weeds, vines, trees, and poison ivy
...and we flattened out this part of the yard.
A giant hole was dug to make way for a door to the basement.
It was a lot of work to get the yard to look somewhat normal. Not a pretty yard, but it would do for a while.
More on the yard to be continued in my future blogs...
