The front yard transformation
by
Michele Ferrari
(IC: homeowner)
After spending the summer breaking up and hauling away 4 1/2 tons of blacktop, bringing in 2 tons of topsoil, building a fence, installing an arbor, landscaping, and brick laying, we were able to change our front yard parking lot into a thing of beauty.
Enjoyed the project?

That's an absolutely incredible transformation and it's so beautiful. I keep looking at the before and after and I know it's the same house, the same trees, the same walkway running up to the front door, but my eyes still don't believe it! Wonderful plan/vision. Wish I had that! I will not complain about my conventional front yard with plenty of grass and plants ever again, LOL! I'd have to hire people to do all of that work, unfortunately, no way could I do it myself (taking out blacktop, building a fence from scratch, etc.) If your municipality gives out "beautiful yard" awards, you should get one!

Have a question about this project?
A muddy yard. How to devide a yard from Drive way
Was this an original design or was a designer hired to present the idea? It is great looking and inviting.
You have done an amazingjob - especially in removing all the bitumen looking 'path'. I love the entry archway. Looks great. What about dangling a small wind chime from the round archway? Just one that will gently tinkle and not drive you crazy. Or if you are like me (I LOVE fairy lights), drape some solar fairy lights around the archway? Again. Congratulations - you should be proud of the work done.
