26. I Did NONE Of The Brick Work
Sun Jun 4, 2023, 08:15 PM
Jun 2023

The terraces, sidewalk & hedges were our 25th anniversary present to ourselves.
That was 2005. If I had been working on that walk, it would still be under half done!
The design was mine, sort of. I told the guy I wanted as many curves as possible and NO right angles.
The chevron of boxwoods at the arbor was also my plan, but he suggested the wraparound behind the arbor. We are glad we listened to him.
The front yard is pretty elaborate, too.
We live on a corner & houses across the sidesteps actually face our house.
So, we thought we didn't really have a front yard & back yard. We had a front yard & the other front yard.
There's sprinkler system installed too, but we barely use it.
