We have been working hard the last couple of weeks getting our front entrance set up and looking nice.
There are no really good before shots since it was a long slow process until we figured out exactly what we wanted to do. Proceed with obligatory before photos.
This is what it looked like in 2010 when we hadn’t done anything to it:
And this was when we finally realized what we wanted to do with it:
So we got started with Darrell digging out the dirt down about 4″. Then he laid the weed fabric down:
Then the fun part was ordering 2 yards of rock to be delivered. We ordered pea gravel and Mini Cobbles:
We started with the pea gravel for the bottom layer:
After we got the pea gravel in, we put the Mini Cobbles in:
When we finished with putting the first layer of Mini-Cobbles down, we called it a night since it had gotten dark and it was already 9 pm and we were both sore and tired. This is what things looked like when we called it a night:
The next day was the day we finished it all up. We put a second layer down and made sure it looked nice. We really like it:
So we are done with another project around the house. We have quite a few more planned. We shall see how far we get with all of them. 🙂
