It has taken a year, but I can now officially say our front yard is finished! We learned quite a bit from the first time we laid down mulch to this time.

First, this is what our yard looked like one year ago:

A view of an unkempt front yard with brown, dried plants and patches of overgrown grass next to a sidewalk and house.

This was after 2 1/2 years of not living here and being able to maintain it.

And this is a week ago:

A front yard recently completed with new black mulch, trimmed plants, and a clear walkway leading to the entrance of a house.

I pulled out any plants I didn’t want, moved those I wanted to, dug out the old cedar shavings, planted whatever plants that will hopefully grow, leveled the dirt (which involved moving some to the back yard), then went to a local supplier of such things as bark, shavings, compost, animal bedding, etc. and bought our bark.

Between everything else on the property and this yard, it did legitimately take me a year to transform our yard but I love it!
