    Did during the Memorial Day weekend. What do you guys think?

    10000% props to Mexicans and all those in this business...this crap was some backbreaking, truly tiring labor :bowdown:

    Looks nice. Some bricks around the edges would make it stand out a bit more, though.Your grass need some help, what's going on there?


    I did something similar. I had to redo my whole front. The previous owner left stumps all over, which I pulled out, evened out the ground, planted new bushes and whatnot. I used the white pearl cut rocks instead of mulch. It really makes your front yard stand out.

    The house was a foreclosure and the lawn was terribly neglected. Compared to its original state, the grass is actually in GREAT shape because when I moved in about 5 months ago, it was was practically a straight dirt lot. I've actually gotten a few compliments from neighbors...put a smile on my face.
    I'm on a lawn forum and they have been absolutely great in helping me get the grass together. Got a soil test and it came back horrible...very low ph, lacking in all nutrients, etc. I've added calcium, balanced fert, epsom salt, and tons of watering. Still have a ways to go.

    Looks good. I can definitely see the difference in the grass from the pics in March to the new ones.. Some TLC and it will look great. Good luck with it.
