The work on the front yard patios is completed. I planted some grasses and other perennials but am waiting until next winter to plant a few shrubs. As promised in the previous blog post, here is a slideshow containing pictures from late February, when work started, to early April, after it was completed. I’m loving our totally lawn-less yard!

Congrats Barbara, really wonderful. I love the stone work and the creation of the sitting areas. Very inviting.
