A New Path

Before--A Sea of Landscaping Fabric 
The back yard renovation project is coming along nicely.  Greg Eubanks, our landscaper from Serenity Gardens, finished the flagstone pathway that goes from the edge of the patio to the gate in the back fence yesterday.

Greg Lays Out the Pathway
Cindy had put down landscaping fabric, aka weed block, about a year ago to try to kill off the Bermuda grass, which we think could probably survive a nuclear bomb blast.  When Greg cut the fabric to dig out the space for the stone pathway, I was surprised to see that the plan had actually worked; there was no Bermuda grass to be seen.  Of course, we know better than to assume that it's really, really gone, so Greg put down more landscaping fabric before he began laying the stone.

Once the pathway was laid out, Greg and Brian began putting the decomposed granite down.  The DG changed the whole look of the yard immediately.  Well, black weed block to beautiful gold DG, I guess that's not too surprising.

It's amazing what a difference it makes to the whole yard.
