I bought my first house a few months back. Its a big piece of shit in a far away suburb. It is however in my price range and I figure adding value and make it nicer is a satisfying project in itself.

Onwards…

Entrance garden, the rocks off to the left side were in the pits.
Here we have some dirt, dying grass and bits of glass and concrete just under the surface.

So I dug up as much grass and crap as I could, flattened it out and put down some shade cloth I had from another project.

Freaking dog walking on everything, digging…

More cloth. Dog and cat now goddammit.

Stones, by the bucket load. My arms argh.

Getting ready to put in a few plants.

Put some plants in. Digging through stones, cutting the cloth, planting, and covering. Bit of a bitch as the stones would fall in while digging. I didnt have the pants or I would have put them in before the stones.

So yeah, I need to tidy a bit and figure out how to move the big rocks. Pretty much done though.
