The Yard...continued...

The yard has been an ongoing project. Since the last post in 2011 we have trimmed down the tree in the front, dug out underneath the deck and laid bark mulch, put up fencing in the back, built a berm against the fence, extended the garden, laid grass seed where there was once blackberries and on and on it goes...

This is our friend Gord up in the tree after he had cut his way through to the top

 What the cleanup looked like....

We had to redo the drainage at the back to run along the property line. This box is where it ends and turns left along the fence line

It took a LONG time to get to the end of the fence but we finally made it!

We finally finished digging out on the right side of the house. Where you see the lid is our cleanout for our drain system

then we have been working on the front of the house and digging out the dirt from under the deck as it was up too high and allowing moisture to get under the siding.  We put weed cloth and finished it off with bark mulch

We got some REALLY cool old stuff from our friend Bren which just added to the look of the front of the house. 

 Looking better and better all the time!
