I've started a massive project in my backyard. I have a circular 14' concrete pad that I decided to put allen block planters around to picture frame it with a garden. So far I've stripped the grass and used it to fill in dead spots from my old dog and trenched the areas for the blocks which should be delivered next week.
I then decided to replace the existing trees that span my rear fence (Columnar Aspens and a Russian Olive) as it's too wet there and they aren't growing after 4 years. I pulled them all out as best I could and moved them to another area of the yard. They may not make it but we'll see what happens. I replace them with Towering Poplars and a Laurel Leaf Willow. Took a lot of sweat and pain to get it done and the sad thing is it doesn't look any different... hopefully they will grow better to create a privacy screen though.
I got to learn how to fix sprinklers as well as I sliced into a line while excavating the one bed!
