Ogle Yard Projects

We have been working hard on some yard projects recently. I wanted to put up some comparison pictures but all of the older pictures are on an external hard drive that I don't have the time to deal with right now.

I pulled out pavers and some large plants from the backyard. Mitch and Dad took out part of the patio. Dad relocated their raised bed from the Santa Cruz house and put it in our backyard and made it double the size. We rototilled, put in sprinklers, and put in sod.















In the front, we had some trees taken out and the shrubs. Last summer, I had taken out the pavers on the far side of the driveway and in the fall I planted some bulbs and some plants we had in pots. Last summer, we put in the retaining wall and had the house painted in the fall. When Bill and Barb were here a few weeks ago, they helped us to put in a deck (well, it is not done yet) and started a rock pathway. We are also putting in sprinklers in the front.
