Front of my house; last 16 months

First pic is before purchase, I cut the shrubs that run up the house down 1 hour after the closing.

Second photo was after I tore out the rest of the old lady shrubs.

Third is today.......

Fourth...Almost there........

Looks really good!

I don't understand why people need to have those huge shrubs barricading their house. I would have done the same as you!

I tore out all of the shrubs and pulled roots for months and didn't seem to get anywhere.....

I then called a landscaper who rototilled the entire area, pulled all of the roots, filled with a huge truckload of topsoil and put the sod down in the front.

I also had topsoill added to the side and back where we are seeding.

I have a second project that also started today Stamped concrete.

More pics to follow.....

Wow, looks like lots of work, good job. I would have taken down those big bushes climbing the house but I like the other ones.

Re: Front of my house last 16 months

Love it! It looks great. It is amazing how many people have such large bushes in front of their homes. They really hide the house. Your house def. looks so much bigger and nicer now. Great Job!!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
