I've been trying to clean up the landscaping beds after we had to tear them all apart to get the old curbing out and lay the new concrete ones. We won't be getting the rock we want to replace the old bark right away and we can't just leave it all torn up the way it is till then...(we have an HOA to worry about) I spent the day tearing out some ground weed barrier, and pulling grass and weeds that have been growing in the old beds, and pruning trees and bushes. I filled up both garbages so I will have to wait till next week to finish or until I can borrow the in laws trailer.
but here is what I accomplished today.
BEFORE:
When we re-seeded the lawn, seeds flew into the bark and took root :( So all that needed to be ripped out.
AFTER: (exact same location as above)
oh look there is another bush under there :)
I also hacked alway at those huge junipers. I didn't exactly know how to trim those suckers and just went at it :) I'm young, this is all a learning experience. Same with the rose bushes, I just cut away, except those are more forgiving since they will be huge again in a month. I have to cut those things back about 5 times every summer.

We got our rock at a place called the rock placing company/conveyered materials Inc. There are 2 business's there but they work together. That is if you like the rock I got. We have what is called perma bark.
Your yard looks great! The hard work is paying off!
