Typical Noland Weekend – Landscaping Part 4

So you ask what the heck… “Part four! I only see part one and now part four.” Well with Stacey back home it is always hard to keep up with the back office work I need to go… since we all know she is a bit high maintenance (she strongly denies it)

The landscaping project is finally done… For the season that is. When building out the left side I ran short about 3 yards of dirt, so I ended up ordering another 12 to build out the right side.

Andrew was a big helper as usual as he loves to dig holes and we like to work him hard. No slacking off here even for little babies.

The final product turned out fairly nice with the bushes and other plants that Cameron Holmes helped to spec out. We are going to have to wait until spring to finish with the rest of the perennials that are not available right now.

We finished the project with putting in 5 yards of mulch to cover the beds, I should have ordered 8 as we were not able to fill in around the entire house… better luck next year I guess. Stacey is not a big fan of the smell of mulch, it must be the years helping my dad do that at my house growing up as I just love it, but we know us Noland’s are a bit weird.

The spring should also be very nice as I plan to put in about 400 tulip bulbs and 100 daffodils. Stacey is looking forward to helping with that planting.
