Well first a little background...
My Fiance and I bought our house in Nov. of '06. The landscape was tacky as all hell/non-existant. We got the concrete curbing poured last spring, and then didn't have the time/money to do anything with it. So I threw down some weed paper and mulch, and let it ride. Then it got cold and I couldn't plant anything.
Fast forward to this week. We got married Saturday and I took some of the money and finally bought some plants! After looking at an empty flower bed with nothing but mulch for almost a year it was long overdue. It really makes the house. It finally looks complete. It's nothing spectacular, but I'm proud of all the work I've done, so I thought I'd show it off (excuse the dirt on the lawn, I'm trying to revive some dead spots).
In chronological order...
This is what we started with. To say the least I was embarassed to call it my home.

 

After the curbing was poured, the walkway was removed, and that unnecessarily huge foundation for their flag pole was broken up and hauled out courtesy of my F150. Digging out all that grass sure was a bitch!




What I've been looking at for most of the last year.

And the finished product. It made a world of difference! It's amazing the results you can get with a few hundred dollars.





Time for a nap!

 

flag pole in front yard = badass

I like the blue bird bath and the virgin mary statue

 

Holy cow, I just saw Mother Teresa, then she upped and vanished like a fart in the wind.

 

When I look back at those pictures I'm surprised I even went into the house sometimes.
I'm sure glad I did though, because it was hooked up inside.

 

It Looks really good There was this old rundown foreclosed house a couple streets down from me, some one bought it a month ago put new siding up and did some land scaping and now it doesnt even look like the same house.

 

how do you get rid of something like that if you dont want it, because you really cant throw it away.

 

Looks great! A huge improvement.

 

Like what?

 

the virgin Mary

 

Luckily they took it with them. I didn't want to have to find a place for it.
I'm down with Jesus, just not prominently displayed in my front yard.

 

I think I'd feel bad throwing away something in reference to God.
