After a summer of fighting weeds that slowly crept across our front lawn from the dickhead neighbor’s yard, we killed our lawn and purchased some sod. It looks really nice, and green! Click the picture to see the photo album.
We are also putting a 3-4 ft flower garden along the fence to act as a weed barrier from the neighbor. We are looking into getting cement curbing along all the flower beds in the front yard. We need 60 feet total. Hopefully there is someone willing to do such a small area, or we might end up doing it ourselves (with some help from Lucky, of course!). Did I mention my neighbors Lucky and Tom kick ass!? Did I mention that our neighbors to the north are assholes?
I’ll add some new pictures to the photo album in a couple of weeks after the grass has a chance to grow a little and the lines disappear. You’ll notice from the pictures that the mail box is on the other side of the driveway. I don’t know how many people have ran into it when it was between our driveway and Lucky’s driveway, but Uncle Melvin finally took it out (and his bumper and tailgate) when they came for a visit last month. We are looking for an old milk can to stick it in so it looks a little more attractive than the white plastic bucket and will be easier to move.
I uploaded some more pictures of the sod after it had a few weeks to grow. Check them out!
