While I am not someone who lives and dies by lists, it seems foolish not to have a plan in place when starting a project of this size. So here we go written down for posterity (or until I forget to pay for the hosting). Here are the steps that we have in place to transform our front yard from a landscape of dead plans and dirt to a respectable yard filled with curb appeal. My inlaws just brought down their rototill for us to use so we are getting close to ready to go!
Steps to a new front yard
- make a plan of plants etc
- rototill yard
- set up irrigation
- take out fence
- grade yard
- do forms and lay concrete for walk way
put up new fence(?)
make patio out of pavers or dg - fix raised planter
- add mulch and or rocks
- plant trees
plant plants - stain porch
jackhammer out section of concrete(?)
