So we attacked the patio project last Saturday, and I’m a little stunned to be saying that we did it! We built a patio! And it looks pretty freaking good!

Adventures in Landscaping: Patio Progress!
Time for another landscaping update, and after only a week this time. A new record!
With help from my father-in-law, we actually made some surprising progress on the patio last weekend.
Adventures in Landscaping: Reevaluating the Yard
It has officially been over a year since my first Adventures in Landscaping. I promise it has not been a full year since I’ve landscaped my yard (although we got pretty lazy over winter).
With another year gone and a baby in the house, our priorities and our available time to landscape have shifted. Last year, I wanted to install a rock garden in front of our fence. That did not happen, but check out what did!

Before we rebuild my stone patio and plant verdant new flowers all over the place, we need to get rid of what’s currently there. This includes some leftover features from the previous owners, as well as some things the wife and I have decided to get rid of and start anew. Continue reading “Adventures in Landscaping: Demo is for Demolition”
Pre-Adventures in Landscaping!
A.K.A. white man asks Mexican for help with his yard.
So Jessie and I are in preliminary discussions of how to fix my shitty yard. I promise I will take before pictures so you all can see, but for now we’re mainly brainstorming. Continue reading “Pre-Adventures in Landscaping!”
