Garden Tuesday, the one about before and after

From this...


Along the way....





To this.....


Most of the small trimmings were shredded and returned to the area as cover mulch. It is only a start, but it sure looks better!

As always, thanks for taking a moment to stop and say hello. I appreciate your time and your wonderful comments!

What a difference, now I bet you get more light through that window. We just pulled all the shrubs from the front of our house and it looks naked. But I will put something else there in their place.

Quite a tranformation! And a huge amount of work, I am sure, to cut all that down and chip it up, but it sure looks nice--well done!

I love it! We had to do some similar work. It's so worth it!

Did I see Vancouver, WA. in your profile somewhere. I'm in Portland and know that when those trees grow, they grow. You made a difference inside your house AND out. Wasn't all that mulch fun to have?!
