shade garden progress

our side yard is getting a makeover. grass isn't growing well in the shade so we are replacing it with flagstone walks and ground cover. today i spent a grueling 5 hours taking out the grass, tilling the soil with my new bff (electric tiller), and laying the stone and mulch.

side yard - BEFORE
side yard - will be planting hostas around the bird bath...btw it was $39 from home goods! love!

electric tiller bff, which helped a ton with breaking up the sod

side yard - that stone landing on the left is where doggies will jump out once we get the doggie door installed under the window!

  1. It looks great!

    We are about to invest in a tiller soon too. How do you like the one you guys got?

  2. Love it - especially for the price point! Compared all the amazon.com ones and this guy got the best reviews
