The Beginning!

When we bought the house it was winter & the lawn was covered in snow, so when the snow melted we got to see the tragedy underneath. The grass was dying & patchy, & in some areas non-existent. The previous owners had been parking on the lawn and they had an oil leak, so that whole area was dead. Their were a ton of dead rose bushes, a shed falling apart in the back yard, & big pieces of metal and bolts everywhere. This is the listing picture with the snow.

Here's a picture of it a few years back, before the rose bushes died.

First we declared war against the shed and the rose bushes.

 

Then we gave the grass life again. A couple hundred dollars, some white spray paint, one bucket of red paint and one wreath later its looking pretty cute! We went from being the ugly duckling on the street to the shining star. <3

Here's the progression.

 

Here's the most recent from last fall.

Add two years and some love and voila! Before and Now.
