Prepping for pavers and other projects

This will be the first of at least three posts about some gardening/landscaping which we’ve done in February and March, its been tough!

We had made plans for some landscaping and pavers to be done, but first, we had some LARGE ugly plants, which had to be moved.  We got quotes from some landscapers to remove them, and they wanted between $150 and $200.  I was trying to be stingy, so I figured I’d try myself…little did I know it would take hours and I would break a shovel along the way.

On the same weekend, we decided to move the fence on one side of our property up towards the street about 15 feet.  This would then give us 15 more usable feet in the backyard and our Air Conditioner would no longer be visible from the street.

Not to get too much into detail on a cut and dry project, here are some pictures of the plants to start.
