Front Walkway built out of inexpensive cement pavers, red lava rocks, and solar lights

Our home had a simple walkway with cement pavers, which proved to be a hassle when we mowed the lawn. We finished the walkway simply by digging up the grass, adding red lava rocks, ...»
flowers, and solar lights to boost up our curb appeal!

Planting Flowers With a Drip Irrigation System.

We did a little planting of hearty Lantana to dress up or front entrance. To keep them alive in the heat of a Phoenix summer, I extended some drip irrigation.

Gardening: How do I get grass out of a phlox bed?

This flower bed is extremely dense with phlox. Last year, I pulled much of the grass out by the roots, but it came back with a vengence this year. We've had a ton of rain in Virginia. ...»
Other than digging up ALL of the phlox, does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the grass? The phlox is so thick that I can't get to the grass roots.

I'm new to this site, and decided to post pictures of the things that keep me busy .

I like to garden and love repurposing "anything", like the compass you'll see here that I made from an old concrete septic tank cover. Pics that follow are some of my outdoor projects: ...»
made a bottle tree, a fish pond, grew and dried birdhouse gourds, made raised gardens, painted an old bench, painted rug onto my deck, harvested 40' bamboo, cured them and made a trellis, made a peaceful walking/sitting area in the woods out back. I'm a DYI'er that began as a financial necessity and grew into a passion.......By the way, if you haven't talked to the great people at Four Season Nursery yet, or shopped for mulch, gravel and plants, you're missing an opportunity. They are knowledgeable and dependable. My husband just smiles at me and hates to leave me the truck...he knows I'm going there for a load of something.

Gardening: How to kill Crabgrass in lawn

Would like a home made receipe for killing crabgrass in the lawn. Something without salt in it as that kills everything and keeps grass from growing back for a long time.

  • Here's the lamppost landscaping before. Sad.
  • Here's a peek at the after. I switched out a plant with one I had in my back yard, cleaned out the debris and did some trimming.
  • Here's a look at the after.
  • I added a garden flag for some decorating flair.
  • I also spray-painted a portion of the lamppost in oil-rubbed bronze to give it an update.

  • "Before" ~ a few shrubs and tons of ivy and pachysandra. The side and backyards were so depressing I don't even have true "Before" pictures! 2
  • "After" ~ added and enlarged flower beds, arbors, a gazebo and other garden accents enhance the landscape. 8
  • "After" ~ a side yard full of ivy becomes a gazebo garden.
  • "Before" ~ side yard looks bleak even after ivy was cleared, a mulch path put in and new fencing for the dogs put up.
  • "After" ~ the garage is now a garden room, and a shade garden, deck and arbor have been added.
  • "After" ~ Three dead trees cut down and new flower beds and mulched paths made.

5 Years ~ Before & After in Our Fairfield Garden

Hard to believe but we just marked our fifth anniversary in our "new" old house. Many , many projects later, we still have a few major improvements to finish. This spring is exterior ...»
painting and new garage doors, but we are hiring those done. Even though I'm a good painter and have painted houses before , inside and out, my ladder days are over!

For me, the most rewarding changes have been accomplished in the landscape. My best friend teased the daylights out of me when we bought a house with "tortured shrubbery" (clipped into box and spiral shapes). But it was a half acre after a tiny lot and, even though two-thirds of it was covered in ivy and pachysandra, I knew there was a wonderful garden waiting to happen. And, there was a garden shed and an extra garage on the back of the house to store all my garden tools, pots and whatnot!
